HH DOESN’T SCARE US!
… assassination claims brushed off
UPND president Hakainde Hichilema is not a threat to the Patriotic Front for him to be assassinated in order to stop him from standing in the 2021 general elections, PF vice chairperson for mobilisation Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said.
And Mr Mwamba said the European Union should not at any time entertain allegations leveled against PF by the UPND Secretary-General, Mr Stephen Katuka because they have no basis.
Mr Mwamba, a former UPND vice president for administration, said the PF cannot waste time to assassinate the opposition leader because he was a political nonentity.
He said in an interview, "assassination of Mr Hichilema is not in the best interest of PF and the nation, moreover he is not a threat such that people can think of hindering him to contest an election.
"We already know that when Mr Hichilema contests the polls he will lose so why can we waste our time on him.
“When I was in UPND, Mr Hichilema used to tell us several times that they want to eliminate him but we used to ask him if there was any proof and he never provided any.
"So I will advise the people of Zambia not to take him seriously because he only wants attention," Mr Mwamba said.
Meanwhile, Mr Mwamba said the UPND has realized it was not matured enough to win an election that was why it was running to the EU reporting issues that had no basis.
He said it was not the first time the UPND was writing to the EU and to other international organisations but nothing was done because they knew the UPND leaders behave like cry-babies.
"I was in the UPND and I saw a number of letters the UPND sent to international organisations which did not even have a basis and what they have done will not even be taken seriously because these international organisations know the UPND very well," Mr Mwamba said.
