President Banda is a God-given gift to Zambia, former Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) Ndola District vice-chairperson Victor Chimuka has said.
And Mr. Chimuka says economic achievements that Zambia has experienced in the two and a half years of President Banda’s reign will go down in history as the most successful.
Speaking in an interview, Mr. Chimuka said it is God’s plan that President Banda continues to rule this country.
“President Banda never wanted to be Vice-President. It was God’s plans that he heads this country. Look at how many times people were sent to his farms in Chipata to plead with him to take up the position. At last God intervened and he accepted,”
He said even after the death of President Mwanawasa, President Banda remained the choice of most Zambians as God had seen it fit.
Mr. Chimuka said even in this year’s election, President Banda will be victorious because it is the wish of most Zambians that he continues running the affairs of this country.
“It is the wish of every well-meaning Zambian that President Banda continues ruling this country and God will grant us our hearts’ desires just like he did in 2008,” he said.
Mr. Chimuka said the people calling for change of Government can best be described as agents of the devil who want to bring confusion in the country.
He said it is sad to note that the opposition are misleading Zambians by alleging that they will do miracles once elected into power with nothing to showcase.
He wondered why some Zambians have opted to listen to power hungry politicians who will not keep to their promises should they be elected into office.
“I would believe anyone who justifies why they should be voted into office if they show that they are capable of doing rather than them verbally stating their plans without showing their works. I urge fellow Zambian to vote for President Banda because of what he has done and is capable of doing for Zambia,” Mr. Chimuka said.
Meanwhile, Mr. Chimuka says people of Ndola are happy with the development projects that Government has embarked on.
He said the revamping of the mines on the Copperbelt has added value and hope to people’s lives, making most of them opt for President Banda and the MMD in this year’s election.
He said among other projects that the people of Ndola are happy with the construction of the first ever ultramodern stadium, the new markets, security officers ‘houses and the township roads.
Commenting on allegations from the opposition that all the development projects that President Banda has been undertaking countrywide are an idea of late President Mwanawasa, Mr. Chimuka said such claims are baseless.
Mr. Chimuka said not all projects were initiated by president Mwanawasa, adding that President Banda had a choice whether to continue with the projects he found or not. Many of the projects were started three years ago just after President Banda was elected.
He said President Banda went ahead with some of the projects in the interest of all Zambians.
“President Banda is human and he had a choice whether to continue with some of the development projects that were started by President Mwanawasa or not.
But because he knew that those projects were to benefit Zambia, the country he loves so much, he decided to continue and I think it is recklessness for someone to suggest that all the development projects were started by the Late President Mwanawasa,” Mr. Chimuka said.
