HH IS A BACKSTABBER - GBM
..What he is doing to Nkombo, he did to me also
HAKAINDE Hichilema is a staunch backstabber, know- it all leader who does not listen to anyone, and it is not surprising that he is involved in the UPND chaos in Western Province, Patriotic Front deputy national chairperson for mobilization, Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said.
Mr Bwalya, who is popularly known as GBM said he was not surprised that the UPND president, Mr Hichilema went behind his chairperson for elections, Gary Nkombo and reserved his decision to dissolve the Western provincial committee.
He said in an interview that Mr Hichilema backstabbed him as well when he was UPND vice president for administration.
“Mr Hakainde also went behind my back when I disciplined some officials in Northern province and suspended them. He instructed the secretary general, Stephen Katuka to reinstate them without even consulting me. So I am not surprised what is happening in their party in Western Province,” said Mr Mwamba.
Mr Mwamba said Mr Hichilema was a dictator and that he never listens to anyone because he thinks he knows everything.
He said there was tension in the UPND because Mr Hichilema was running the party like a one man show.
Mr Mwamba said the UPND leader’s dictatorial tendencies were frustrating other members and that it was the reason several officials were defecting to the ruling party.
“I Am speaking from experience, that man is a dictator, he only wants things to be done his way. People are frustrated and it is the reason you are seeing all those defections,” he said.
Mr Mwamba vowed that at the pace the UPND was going, it could never form government because there was too much selfishness in the party.
And Mr Mwamba said PF was mobilizing well despite restrictions emanating from the Covid-19 outbreak.
He said the ruling party was gaining ground in opposition strongholds and was assured of scooping the 2021 elections.
