Too Early for Dr Kaseba Sata to Comment on National Issues

As ZRP we advise the former first lady Madam Kaseba not to be used by the cartel and indeed to start commenting on national issue which are thorn because we believe it's too early for her to make any meaningful comment and contribution pertaining national issues because of the gravity of her loss.
As Zambia Republican Party, we strongly believe that Dr Guy Scott is being used by the Cartel to hinder Hon Edgar Lungu who is the people's choice as well as late president Michael Sata's preferred candidate. We are also of the view that Dr Guy Scott is not supposed to act as president of this Nation, but the one whom the late president left the instruments of power with. We will respect any verdict from court though because we believe we have competent courts of law in Zambia.
The cartel is doing everything possible to hinder people like Hon. Edgar Lungu and the late President Rupiah Banda from standing for presidential by-elections by sponsoring other people and using people like Dr Scott and one Newspaper among other things to speak and write bad about the two gentlemen because of their stance against the same cartel.
This is the reason why Dr Guy Scott was in a hurry to fire Hon Edgar Lungu as Secretary General of PF immediately he assumed as acting president.
So our Advice to the former first lady is that she should be cool and not to take sides because she might be embarrassed if the one the nation want to be president, Edgar Lungu becomes president in two and half months also.
There's nothing that the cartel and Scott will do to stop it if the nation wants Lungu to be the sixth president of Zambia.
The former first lady should take a leaf from another former first lady, Maureen Mwanawasa who humiliated the late president Sata when he bowed down to her. Why? Because obviously Maureen Mwanawasa didn't expect Sata to be President one day but when he became president, that's when she wanted attention from him and to be close to him.
The writing is on the wall; people in PF want Edgar Lungu to succeed Sata because they believe that he is the only one that the Zambian people are ready to vote for and not anyone just because they are PF. And those 70 parliamentarians who have endorsed Edgar Lungu as presidential candidate are the people's representatives, and when they picked Lungu it's because that's the one their people want and in the interest of time they felt that since it's not a secret that its Edgar Lungu the people want, they had to go for him.
How can you deny the person whom 70 out of 80 MPs in the ruling party and about 8 of Zambia's 10 provinces have endorsed? Let not Dr Guy Scott hide in the convention, people want Edgar Lungu and trying to do otherwise is likely to bring either chaos or the end of PF because people may vote PF out and Scott will shoulder the blame.
