LUSAKA Province Minister Bowman Lusambo says UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has locked himself out of the Copperbelt because his supporters booed President Edgar Lungu in Monze.
In an interview, Lusambo said Hichilema was a president of Southern Province and would not be allowed to mobilize in other parts of the country.
“Hakainde Hichilema has locked up himself. He is the President of Monze and Southern Province because other parts, we will not allow him to mobilize. President Lungu is a flag carrier, you should give him respect. Let them behave like that when we are with councilors not the President. The Copperbelt is a no go area for the UPND as long as I remain the mobilization coordinator. If they want politics of caderism, they know me. We are not going to tolerate that nonsense! They are coming for massacre in the Copperbelt. We are not going to allow stupidity. The President is always on duty 24/7 and he has no restrictions to visit any constituencies. We are going to protect the President of the Republic of Zambia and we are going to assure the UPND that the line has been drawn,” Lusambo said.
“We are not going to allow any misbehaving in Lusaka in case they (UPND) have forgotten me. Zambia’s democracy has grown and this time around, we should be competing on issue based campaigns and not on caderism. We should know that we have a President in State House and he is the constitution holder for our country and he has mandate to work. And those youths who have been used, stop this! President Lungu wants youths who are productive, youths who add value to the development of our country. It is very unfortunate that the UPND can start playing those politics, some of us we have PHDs in that type of politics so there is no one who can compete with me. Hakainde Hichilema is a baby in politics.”
Lusambo said Non-Governmental Organizations should condemn youths who booed President Lungu in Monze.
“The NGOs that support things that are not good, we want them to condemn these things. We are waiting for their voices. If it was Bowman in Kabushi, the entire radio wave would have been Bowman. If they are not going to condemn these things, let them be assured that we know these politics extremely well and we can’t be beaten on this. We have no apology to make, President Lungu is not a President for a kantemba (sole trader) political party like the UPND, he is presiding over the economy over the country. It is not a joke. They are not only offending President Lungu but his supporters as well. If this a game they want, we will enjoy it,” said Lusambo.

Because of corruption and bad leadership he was booed in monze
That’s the PF game of politics. Pf started in 2016 in Muchinga province when they wanted to bring down UPND chopper. No one blamed PF. They almost killed Maureen Mwanawasa and ladies by bashing them with a landrover. Do these PF criminals think we’ve forgotten their blood thirst. This spirit is from MMD. Shame on these demons. But mind you, your days are numbered.
Kkkkkkkk you are just joking, you think Zambia is your bedroom apartment to someone to enter? You are going and face the law, chiwamela galu
Some provinces full of idiots
What gives you the confidence that Lusaka and CB constituents are with you, Cardre 1- Bownan. Just watch the space and you will be shown more Monzes/ Southerns. Prepare for the rude awakening. You don’t have to be telepathic to know what coming for PF. Just because most of us are quiet does mean that we’re happy way of governance and rampant corruption for all to see. I can assure you Bowman that the last laugh will be from the Zambian people just like our friends in Malawi. This I promise you sir and all through the ballot, whether you doctor the constitution or not. Inshita yaku longa, niyiyine!!
Bowman Lusambo should brush his teeth.
Ba Bowman some things you just keep quiet and let things unfold the way they should. It’s your duty as a party and national leader to ensure that the President is not booed by having more people buy into his vision and plans for the country. In this time and age you still want to stand on rooftops and issue threats that don’t benefit you no the people you are misleading. You are embarrassing the Republican President with such shameful talk. Please refrain and concentrate on developing your constituency and province! And stop threatening us the youths, you want to help us from following misleading leaders then be the difference you want to see first.
Prophecy is not an option!!!!
People who fail to reason always resort to physical fights. Bowman bull. No one wants your filthy fight. Just get ready for the exit door.
bowman please zambia does not belong to u stop issuing such remarks. Your statement boarders on serious ethnic groupings. Zambia has a lot of PF/UPND members leaving together. It’s not only in monze but all over the country. Be careful how u talk to the nation such politicals are very dangerous. STOP thinking about HH think about the people.
