PRESIDENT Edgar Chagwa Lungu can make a good Statesman after his tenure of office because he has already proved to Zambians that he is a strong leader, says All People Congress leader Nason Msoni.

Mr Msoni said his party was of a view that the focus of government between 2016 and 2021 should be to deliver its promises to the people.

He said therefore that anything to do with President Lungu’s eligibility should not divert the nation from real issues.

He said President Lungu needed support from all well-meaning Zambians and that he would be one of the great leaders Zambia had produced.

Mr Msoni said it was therefore too early for the people to start debating the eligibility of President Lungu to stand in 2021, as it could divert attention from real issues.

Mr Msoni advised  Zambians to ensure the Government delivered to their expectation and stop concentrating on who would stand in 2021.

Mr Msoni said the debate was only dissolving the efforts made by the Government by focusing on what was less important to the nation.

“He is a  hardworking man and his works will be determined and scrutinized by the Zambian people after the end of his term, and this should not mislead the nation from real issues,” he said.
