Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>I know that some people lied into power, I am talking about the United Kingdom, former president Edgar Lungu has said. President Lungu said lessons can be drawn from Boris Johnson who recently resigned as the British Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

He said when PF MP\u2019s visited him and his wife Mrs Esther Lungu at his residence today that one doesn\u2019t need to be very intelligent to know that he is next after his wife\u2019s appearance at DEC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe essence of life is struggle. When you stop struggling, you are gone. So even in the opposition we should struggle and make sure that our rights are enjoyed in full and may we shake those who are liars. I know that some people lied into power, I am talking about the United Kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know a lot of you have said you should have resisted. But I can assure you that it was the right thing to do. You don\u2019t have to be very intelligent to know that after her it\u2019s me. This is the sequence, it\u2019s like you are peeling the onion. So I\u2019m ready. And they talk about immunity yes they can take away the immunity but I am able to answer to whatever charges.\u201d President Lungu said the current administration is after killing his political life.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I am ready, even they say I am hiding behind the immunity, I am not hiding behind anything. I know what is going on. The aim is just to make sure that they kill PF, they kill my political life. I am still politically active although not in leadership, but I can still give an opinion, I still have influence. They are worried about that. I have said I am no longer there but I am a living being. In short you can consult me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo they want me out of it completely but you can kill the body but you can\u2019t kill the soul. You can\u2019t kill the ideas. So there are people who believe in what we believed in as PF and we still believe in\u2026\u2026People have been able to compare oranges and they can tell which ones are wholesome and which ones are rotten.\u201d<\/p>\n
