USE OF LUNGU’S VIDEOS IN CAMPAIGNS MORALLY WRONG, SUMAILI ADVISES TOONSE

Former Minister of National Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili has advised the Toonse Pamodzi Alliance presidential team against using the late former President Edgar Chagwa Lungu’s videos in their campaigns.

Ms. Sumaili says it is morally wrong for the living to continue using the deceased for campaign purposes.

Yesterday, Toonse Pamodzi Alliance running mate Makebi Zulu played a video of Edgar Chagwa Lungu during a campaign rally.

However, the Reverend is said to be unhappy with the move, arguing that the former Head of State has not yet been buried and should be treated with dignity.

She says there must be respect accorded to the late former President.

“We can’t continue using the deceased to campaign for us in these elections. The move to start using the former President’s videos to campaign will backfire on us because of the controversy surrounding his burial,” she said.»

“If we continue using him in our campaigns, Zambians will hate us and we will damage this movement. Let us leave the President alone and focus on our campaigns,” she added.»
