The PF’s Silence on “Why Me” Exposes Their Toxic Politics – Zambians Must Rise Against Them
By Cletus Muchinga
Zambians are witnessing one of the most shameful displays in our political history: the rise of a reckless, insult-driven figure masquerading as the “voice of the opposition.” The individual calling himself “Why Me” (https://www.facebook.com/reel/607147175474735) has become a symbol of moral decay, hurling despicable insults at the Head of State. But let us be clear this is not about politics. This is about the collapse of decency, the celebration of vulgarity, and a deliberate attempt to provoke the government into a reaction, all so the opposition can play the victim.
What is even more alarming is the deafening silence from the Patriotic Front (PF), a party that claims to be ready to lead this nation. Where is Edgar Lungu? Where is Given Lubinda? Where is Emmanuel Mwamba? Their refusal to condemn this madness speaks louder than any words ever could. It confirms what many of us have long suspected: the PF thrives on chaos, thrives on division, and thrives on deception.
This so-called “Plan B” of the PF is not about offering Zambians a better future. It is a deliberate strategy to sow discord and create unrest. They want Zambians to believe that the UPND government is oppressive, yet they sit back and allow a deranged individual to insult the President in the most degrading manner. This is not democracy. This is not leadership. This is a cheap, dirty, and desperate ploy to regain power at any cost.
If Edgar Lungu truly considers himself a leader, why has he not publicly denounced this disgraceful behavior? Why has he not distanced himself from this madness? The answer is simple: this is the PF’s brand of politics. They operate like a shadowy cabal pretending to be respectable in public while secretly fueling chaos behind the scenes.
Zambians must not be fooled. If the PF is comfortable being represented by a vulgar, unhinged individual like “Why Me,” what kind of leadership do they intend to bring? Is this the caliber of opposition we should take seriously? If they cannot even control one of their own, how can they claim to be fit to govern this nation?
To the youth of Zambia, especially the Gen Z generation, I say this: do not fall for their tricks. Do not be swayed by their manufactured victimhood. Instead, focus on the tangible progress being made under the UPND government economic stability, infrastructure development, and the restoration of Zambia’s dignity on the global stage.
Let us not forget: the PF had ten years in power, and what did they leave us? A mountain of debt, a culture of lawlessness, and a legacy of corruption. Now, they seek to return by disguising their chaos as opposition. Zambians must reject them outright.
Edgar Lungu, Given Lubinda, and Emmanuel Mwamba must be held accountable. If they cannot publicly disown this rogue individual, no sane Zambian should ever trust them with power again.
The role of the opposition is to provide alternative solutions, not to promote vulgarity and hate. If the PF cannot grasp this basic principle, then their dreams of returning to power should remain exactly that a fantasy.
Zambians, it is time to wake up. The PF is not an alternative; they are a disaster waiting to happen. Let us stand together and reject their toxic politics once and for all. Our nation deserves better
Very true. We cannot allow this to happen again.
No sane person in Zambia would like ” Kamugodi” back, and no sane Zambian would like the stinky PF thugs to resurface at Intercity bus terminus. No sane Zambian would like guns and pangas on the street with a drunken president at the helm. We are tired of these thugs. We have put some of them in prisons, the likes of Chilangwa, Chitotela, Lusambo, GBM… just to mention but a few. Malanji is on the line up, soon he will join them. As for that imbecile called ”why me” his time is nearing. Given Lubinda and Miles Sampa welcomed this thug and embraced him but failed to sit him down and lecture him on values. Shameful.
You are toxic yourself. What do you want them to say. I don’t even see the relevance of this article that LT can allow it.
“So, do you expect Lusaka Times to stop publishing simply because you disagree? If we take that approach, much of the information would go unshared out of fear of such reactions. Your role is to read, critique as you see fit, but not to drag a news outlet whose mission is to inform freely, fairly, and without compromise. I put it to you: would you be comfortable if your relative were on the receiving end of such insults? Or if you were in their position? Some matters require looking beyond personal biases.”
Ba Deja Vu, if surely you can’t see any relevance in this article, it means then that you yourself your irrelevant
That’s your opinion.
Look at both sides of the coin. Upnd cadres are daily insulting people….. you say report them to the police… what happens when you report? Nothing. I have just seen women in Upnd attire insulting kalulushi MP…real insults… there’s also this man a Upnd youth leader who insults Mr Edgar Lungu everyday….so why should it PF’s duty to say something about this Why Me’s insults.
Look at both sides of the coin. ??? Wisely said but not relevant in Zambia
It’s either for or against as with the ballot box he who gives the biggest gift/lie walks away with the prize,
who knows what next ?? one thing I do know when HH leaves whether 2026 or 2031 he will be no more popular than ECL look at past trends
I like people who respectfully speak there mind without resorting to hurling insults and other demeaning language. I feel that young man needs more help than he needs police cells o
All those PF leaders who went to receive him when he was released from jail now silent spelling collusion and lack of leadership
Arrest him again THIS TIME sentence him and let him save. Is it when we hear them who support insult and derogative language on UPND government and HH come out to defend him? We shall see the Church especially the political Church visiting him at the prison to offer solidarity… surely can we go that way?
They can’t see the wrong in the so called WHY ME but they see the wrong in the arrest…Ati Freedom of Expression and Speech… Insulting the head of State.
Such insult from your Cadres and his bosses are quiet? What does it mean? When reactive corrective measures are taken it is when they defend him,….awe this is not right for Christian Nation.
Mr muchinga, how can you really be wondering what kind of leadership they will bring when you already know what kind they were? People thought Trump will be different but now even Zambia is feeling it. Trump 2.0 has even perfected his ways to an extent where his “you are fired” TV series has been actualized. Many are losing jobs, USAID suspended and Zambians who had loved his return will die prematurely for lack of ARVs in our hospitals. USA was the biggest funder of our health services. No, Sir, we already know who they are and will not change. As a matter of fact, they will rush and grab all markets, all bus stops, all businesses and cadres will bill citizens just to enter any town. A leopard can’t change its spots!
PF PF everyone obsessed by PF
If they have no chance and they are a rogue party whatever you want to call them
Let them campaign as well as ECL, Afterall he and his party is useless and stands no chance of getting any votes
So stop shivering in your boots and move on We are we told a Christian Nation and FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS ALLOWED
That man “Why Me” is wiser than the whole UPND put together!! There was a poll where he was pitted against HH and he won. Now UPND are jealous of his following and want his blood. He is full of common sense and the middle of his insults, something which the ruling party lacks. Let me tell the UPND a secret: The policy of silencing Zambians by oppression and arrests has backfired and has just hardened most of the people that have gone through the hands of the British South African Company Police. Just look at the others like Mumbi Phiri, Nakachinda, Mpundu and others: They are more potent after coming out. Stop the madness of trying to silence people using police and trumped up charges. Deliver your promises!!!
