Former President Robert Mugabe wanted to hand over power to Politburo member Sydney Sekeramayi who in turn was supposed to hand over to MDC leader Nelson Chamisa., former Cabinet Minister Professor Jonathan Moyo has said.
Posting on Twitter Moyo said, "And he (Mugabe) was ready, in fact, he no longer had a choice but, to exit in an orderly manner by handing over to a non divisive, non-tribal and non-vindictive transitional leader best personified by Dr Sekeramayi who in turn was would have handed to a new generation of leader like Nelson Chamisa."
When asked if Mugabe did not want to hand over power to a G40 cabal Moyo said, "Who did Mugabe endorse for the 2018 presidential election: Hon_Kasukuwere, Mzembi or Nelson Chamisa? And did President Mugabe, supported by Didymus Mutasa, not CONCEDE DEFEAT to the MDC's Morgan Tsvangirai in 2008, only to be prevented from doing so by Mnangagwa and Chiwenga?"
Moyo further said, "There's nothing being said for the first time here. These are matters that are well established in the public domain. They don't need me to say them for them to be true or otherwise. They speak for themselves as facts."
One social media user accused Moyo of uttering these statements only after he and the rest of the G40 cabal were expelled from ZANU PF.
"It's you who is only now learning of my views and those of my so-called G40 friends. You are not fooling anyone by pretending to know our views before, during and after the November 2017 military coup. Take responsibility for your apparent ignorance," Moyo replied.
