President Edgar Lungu says people
campaigning against the referendum on the bill of rights have no interest of
the nation at heart and should not be taken serious by the people of Zambia.
President Lungu noted that people
opposed to the referendum have lamentably failed to substantiate their stance
and just want to distract people from voting for the progress of the country
and its people.
President Lungu said claims by the
opposition that voting in the referendum means giving votes to the ruling party
is a total fabrication.
The President explained that the
referendum on the bill of right is about people's rights and freedoms which
every Zambian should enjoy.
He said people who are against the
expanded bill of rights do not want to be accountable should they be in
government one day.
The President stated that the
opposition will be shocked tomorrow after the polls as Zambians will
give the referendum and the ruling party a resounding victory.
The head of state who is seeking
re-election and faces 8 other candidates said he is not feeling any pressure
from his competitors because he is more popular across the country than his
challengers.
He said the ruling party will win
tomorrows polls with ease because there is no formidable opposition to
challenge the Patriotic Front.
And the president said government has
improved the Farmer Input Support Programme and will ensure that government
partners with the private sector to drive the programme in future.
Mr Lungu said government has been
distributing inputs on time and paid all farmers who supply their grains to the
Food Reserve Agency.
The head of state was speaking on a
live Hot FM Red hot breakfast show from the Copperbelt province.
Tomorrow Zambians will vote in
the referendum as well as the presidential and general elections which will be
conducted under the amended constitution.
