Stop dragging ECL into politics – Kanyama

FORMER Siavonga District Commissioner, Lovemore Kanyama has advised opposition leaders against using former President Edgar Lungu’s name to gain political mileage.
Mr Kanyama said there were some opposition leaders who were bent on dragging Mr Lungu back into active politics and portraying that the Head of State had intentions of returning to active politics.
He said Mr Lungu should be left to enjoy his retirement so that he could play the role of “father of the nation” since he is the only surviving former President.
Mr Kanyama said Mr Lungu should be a unifier of political party leaders and all Zambians.
He added that it was sad that some individuals who had differences with the new dawn administration, wanted to bring the former President into their battles with the government.
Mr Kanyama urged opposition leaders to emulate the progressive politics of New Heritage Party president, Chishala Kateka whom he described as a credible politician who provided effective checks and balances to Government.
Mr Kanyama added that President Hakainde Hichilema is forced to respond because of the language used by opposition leaders which he says is offensive, provocative and damaging
