'Chamisa learnt nothing from lying about Trump in 2018,' says Jonathan Moyo

Exiled Zimbabwean cabinet Minister Jonathan Moyo has called out Citizens Coalition for Change leader, Nelson Chamisa over his recent remarks which advocated for the United Nations supervised 2023 elections as a way to mitigate alleged rigging by the ruling Zanu-PF.
Addressing a "Thank You" rally in Chinhoyi, Chamisa said, "We want the UN to conduct the elections ...in 1980 we had that...I'm speaking to the UN, SADC & AU. Now they listen to me. If they see a call from Chamisa they rush to answer..."
However, Professor Moyo ploughed into Chamisa's remarks arguing that this is the opposition leader's desperate call ahead of the polls.
"It is thus not just rich but crass opportunism and crude cynicism for Nelson Chamisa within 10 months before the next election, to call for UN-supervised polls; when he has done absolutely nothing for 48 months, since the ConCourt dismissed his poll petition on 24 Aug 2018!
"Clearly, Nelson Chamsa is calling for UN-supervised polls and electoral reforms 10 months before the 2023 poll, as a desperate election manifesto, after he wasted 48 months doing zero; save to form a #CCC that still has no values, no ideology, no constitution and no structures," Moyo said.
"We want the UN to conduct the elections ...in 1980 we had that...I'm speaking to the UN, SADC & AU. Now they listen to me. If they see a call from Chamisa they rush to answer...". Chamisa, 11/9/22; Chinhoyi rally
"So Nelson Chamisa learnt nothing from lying about Trump in 2018!"
Chamisa once told an MDC Alliance rally in Mutare, that United States Of America President, Donald Trump, had promised a whooping US$billion bailout, in the event that the Alliance wins the election.
The US government denied making the $15 billion pledge, saying it was ready to work with the government of the day elected by Zimbabweans in free and fair conditions.
Chamisa said, "When we met with President Trump in America alongside Biti, he asked us how much we needed to move the country forward and we told him that we needed $15 billion."
This was in reference to the visit by some of the Alliance principals, led by Chamisa, to the US Senate, where they allegedly asked Washington to withhold any financial aid to Harare until the country holds free, fair and credible elections.
Consequently, the MDC Alliance was forced to apologize to the United States government over the claims.
