DON’T FALL FOR CHEAP PROPAGANDA BY THE OPPOSITION, VEEP INONGE WINA URGES ELECTORATES IN WESTERN PROVINCE
…as Her Honour the Vice-President says the PF government has done tremendously well in the area hence the need for continued support by the residents
MONGU…Thursday, May 27, 2021
Republican Vice-President Her Honour Mrs Inonge Mutukwa Wina has urged the people of Western Province not to be swayed by the lies being peddled by the opposition in the area.
Mrs Wina said it was clear that the opposition were trying to use cheap propaganda to confuse the electorates in Western Province for their selfish gain.
Speaking upon arrival at MongubAirport yesterday, she said the information making rounds that she had been forced out of government was false and unfounded.
“One of the lies being peddled by the opposition is that I have been forced out of government. But the truth is that I made the decision not to be considered as President Edgar Lungu’s running mate ahead of the forthcoming August 12 general elections,” Mrs Wina said.
And Mrs Wina has urged the people of Western Province to continue supporting President Lungu and the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) for co tuned development in the area.
“If you look at Southern Province, they are slightly more developed than us here in Western Province but they keep peddling lies and hampering developmental programs so that we remain behind on the developmental agenda. How selfish can they be?” Mrs Wina wondered.
Her Honour the Vice-President said the opposition were fond of thwarting government developmental programs to paint the picture that the PF government was not working.
Mrs Wina has further thanked the people of Western Province for supporting President Lungu and the PF since they came into power.
She has also told the PF members in the area that they should no longer tolerate baseless attacks from the opposition concerning what the ruling party was doing in developing the country.
“To you PF members here, you have the armour to protect yourselves from baseless attacks by the opposition. Point at all the developmental projects we have implemented in the area as your defense,” Mrs Wina advised.
Her Honour the Vice-President is in Western Province to check on some developmental projects being undertaken in the area.
Meanwhile, Western Province Permanent Secretary Daniel Bukali has said the people of Western Province were grateful to President Lungu and the PF for the developmental projects in the area.
Mr Bukali has since pointed out to the Water Reticulation Project on the Zambezi River as one that was to transform livelihoods for the better in Western Province.
