His Excellency Micheal Chilufya Sata was an old man and he had alot of wisdom. There is an old adage that says that an old man on a stool can see further above an ant hill than a young man standing on both legs.
In this case President Micheal Chilufya Sata is the old man sitting on the stool and Fred Mmembe the young man standing on both legs.
For President Micheal Chilufya Sata to forego Wynter Kabimba from having a chance of being his successor in favour for Edgar Lungu there is something he saw in Wynter Kabimba that was not right and something he saw in Edgar Lungu that was lets say A lesser evil to the other one.
But for the young man standing on both legs he ulogises the reject of the old man as a demi-god because of the political, economical favour he can get from him, the lure of the lust of power is clearly drooling through the mouth of Fred Mmembe but Zambians should ask themselves why?
Here we see a small group of people that have literally lived of the Zambian people’s task money and have built themselves castles in the air and have convinced themselves are king makers.
For people that stick their hands in the cookie jar and want to pretend to he clean Fred Mmembe has a leash on them like Guy Scott who traded in his loyalty and friendship in order to save face with his white friends at home and abroad and for the lure of money and power accepted to recieve his former friend and ally in a casket.
Edgar Lungu on the other hand stood by what he believed and President Micheal Chilufya Sata saw this coupled in with humility and loyalty, imagine Wynter Kabimba being confered Defence minister, justice minister, PF Secretary General and acting President at the same time? What rype of carnage would his mortorcade cause?
We still remember how cairo road came ro a standstill the first and last time he was acting President?!
Edgar Lungu on the other hand has been even sober enough to hand over the instruments of power to people who were not eligible for the sake of peace and harmony in the nation why because of the very thing President Micheal Chilufya Sata saw in him as the old man sitted on the stool he saw that Edgar Lungu can foster development peace and unity in the country.
Edgar Lungu is the man chosen by His Excellency you can see this by the amount of trust and responsibility invested in him by the late president of being Secretary General of the Party, Minister of Defence and minister of Justice even to the point of acting President that in itself was a statement of a vote of confidence. A statement Micheal made when he felt his time with his creator was nearing made a road map for Zambia and its future. That road map sees Edgar Lungu at the helm of things and Mulenga Sata and the rest of the family tree of the Patriotic Front must fall under him.
This is the first step in honouring our late father and Leader His Excellency may his Legacy Live forever in us by Selecting, Endorsing, Annointing, and rallying behind Edgar Lungu.
As for Fred Mmembe, Wynter Kabimba and the rest it is time for you to bow down to the Will and wishes of His Excellency Micheal Chilufya Sata May His Legacy Last Forever and that of the Zambian people.
This is a call to all Patriotic Zambians across Partisan lines, across Race creed and colour to Rally behind team Micheal Chilufya Sata May His Legacy live forever against the evil cartel that has usurped power from the humble and the meek.
Power is not for the few minority but for the masses.
