Patriotic Front Deputy Secretary-General Hon Mumbi Phiri has called on PF members in Central Province and elsewhere to emulate President Edgar Lungu’s humility, patience, and endurance in order to grow and strengthen the party.
Ms. Phiri says President Edgar Lungu’s loyalty and patience to the party has made him who he is today after rising steadily through the ranks despite various setbacks.
Speaking Saturday morning in Kabwe, Central Province when she met all the PF structures in the province, Ms. Phiri preached unity and reconciliation and urged party members to be loyal, patient, and disciplined if the party is to remain united and ready for the 2021 general elections.
“President Edgar Lungu was supposed to be our candidate in 2006 but was told at the last minute that he would not be adopted but he never left the party or complained but remained loyal and rose through the ranks and served in various high ranking positions and became the head of state” Ms. Phiri recalled and urged members not lose patience but continue working for the good and progression of the party.
She counseled party members to embrace each other and avoid working in isolation and emphasized that “failure of one is the failure of all”.
Ms. Phiri also called for an end the tendency to label some party members as not being founders of the party saying everyone is equally important and that politics is all about numbers.
Ms. Phiri said the PF is committed to upholding the provisions of the party constitution and cautioned against complacency amongst party members adding that no position or hierarchy in the party will guarantee adoption in the absence of unity and hard work.
And speaking earlier, Patriotic Front Central Province Chairperson Hon Chanda Mutale assured Ms. Phiri that the structures in the province are intact but reiterated the need for all structures to work together to strengthen the party.
He asked Ms. Phiri to convey the assurance to the head of state that Central Province has endorsed him as their 2021 Presidential candidate and stands ready to rally behind him.
Jeeesus my Lord!
Are Zambians going to eat humility? Can humility bring down the kwacha to K3 to a dollar? Why is this humility making fuel prices and mealie meal prices to go up? Bushe ungadye humble?
Especially mango eating humility
Here we go: gooof balls at their best…sorry there is nothing to emulate from Lungu. Lungu needs to emulate real leaders.
He has failed to lead the country.
Stop wasting your time, your time is up.
Kuya bebele.
Mumbi Phiri, Christian, and a true soldier of the Republic.
May she be blessed and richly rewarded. Her message is apt, hardwork, endurance to run the course and humility in spades, is required when serving the state. Not the haughty, arrogance of UPND. They will fix everything even without demonstrating they understand the current economic global challenges!!!!!
“President Edgar Lungu was supposed to be our candidate in 2006 but was told at the last minute that he would not be adopted”.
Mumbi means presidential candidate or candidade in Kabwe, or what?
Is sending thugs to brutalize people just trying to exercise their rights as citizens one of the attributes of humility? Sean Tembo found out the hard way this new definition of humility.
This cow thinks Lazy Lungu is a king when he is simply an inept leader.
Pf campains in full swing while opposition are barred……….
And you phiri, lungu is a fraud convict and the only leader in the world who does not deny that he is a corrupt theif….
..
Not one emulates a F.ool unless you want to become one
Imagine having Lungu as role model.
I fear for future generations.
PF is a party of thieves and liars.
They do not have our interests at heart.
They want to covey a picture of a humble person..really laughable… but when he opens his mouth on a stage he disappoints these very people like Mumbi like he did two weeks ago when he publicly supported Bowman’s actions and proclaimed that corruption investigations against were merely a witch hunt.
No poverty stricken person is arrogant. Zimbabweans in the beginning of the 80s til the mid 90s where the most arrogant and xenophobic people towards Zambians starting with the immigration officers, customs officers to the bus crew and taxi drivers.
Today Zimbabweans are humble friendly, because of poverty, South Africans are arrogant and xenophobic.
People confuse President lungu’s poverty stricken lifestyle before he was a mp and rose through to be minister as being humble. The man was just broke, simple. This is a person who is supposed to be very pro poor because he knows poverty from his head to his toes. But that place called state house needs to be exorcised or demolished. Everyone who goes there as president forgets the suffering of the masses. They adopt the mentality of US…
And them,
We Zambians yearn for a president who is ready to act on complaints and show us that he is really one of us.
We don’t care if you are a dictator detaining the big thieves is what we want. But our prisons are full of petty thieves and the big thieves are now the role models.
I don’t know if being humble is also being weak
Humility my foot! Behind that ‘humility’ the dove failed to fly at the last inauguration ceremony, a sign that something is wrong
If she continued talking like that I think many people would listen to her. The biggest point there is not being adopted but remaining in the party. No malice on anyone. I give her a merit today.
Nothing to emulate.
Humility: if he has this quality he should step down and accept that he has failed us Zambians
Patience & endurance: if he has these qualities let him understand human rights and be slow in arresting people standing up for their rights and let him be quick in arresting criminals who have gassed the nation, who have killed innocent people, who have stolen tax payers money and let him disclose the owners of 48 magic houses.
If he can’t please go and preach to the deaf
You jst shut up, you are full ad with fat accounts ad u peach rubbish of emulating whoever u think is your god, go on not us. He’s time is up, don’t waste our time
PF you are finished and you don’t have any message for the country just sit down than embarrassing yourselves 2021 you are gone humble when he is busy closing down media houses threatening the youths to break their legs is it being humble this is the meaning of humbleness in PF firing the police in Sesheke,closing of Prime TV,closing of the post newspaper,gassing the people,arresting the opposition,closing down the unions surrounding himself with thieves like Chitotela,Dora,Chilufya,Lusambo,KZ,Amos Chanda that is humbleness in PF.
The dove failed to fly at the last inauguration ceremony HAHAHAHAHAAH it was because of stolen votes humble leader.
Humility??? This PF is a party of illusion. So for you a man who locks up his political rival for nothing is humble because while doing it he had his hands clasped and a daft look on his face?
Humility is in actions not looks!
Never has a truer word been spoken. Mama mumbi you have hit the nail on the head. Look at how riled up the evil diasporans are. They are even foaming at the mouth with their demon infested bodies. Bunch of clowns
KZ
You and your humble one can threaten our people back home into silence , but you can not threaten us , yes the diasporans , we speak for the millions of oppressed and hungry Zambians who can’t breath because of lungu and his PF thugs………
We praying for you Bally, you’ve what it takes to revive this economy which is in ICU. Remain United, PF is now limping n using a walking stick.
Since the PF government is preventing anybody else from meeting, I ask Almighty God to strike them down, all of them with Covid 19 before the end of this year. Lord save the helpless under these ruthless rulers of Zambia who are rigging the elections by giving themselves a head start in campaigning.
Humility?? Even a snr devil can pretend to be humility and Most Zambian to see any characteristics of humility in him, it’s only you bakandile.
This Bisa whoring baboon also, all the time her verbature is chinyanyenye pa panwa.
She is a beneficiary.
God father humble? Who has been brutalizing opponents? Who has been crashing media houses like a tonne of bricks? Who sent thugs to kill Bally? Who sent thugs to train as militia in Sudan? Who arrogantly ignored the constitution and forced ministers to stay after dissolving parliament? Who arrogantly got sworn in during a petition? Who arrogantly refused to discipline thriving ministers? Who arrogantly supported Lusaka province minister’s abuse of human rights?…..who is humble? We would rather emulate Bally!! at least he is truthful.
@humble arrogant snake lips
@godfather
If Lungu is a description of humility, then I want to be haughty. I want to be everything opposite of humility, i want to be arrogant, violent, corrupt and thief.
