Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Economic and Equity Party \u2013 EEP President Chilufya Tayali has called on Zambians especially opposition political parties to be part of an Alliance that will lead to the formation of the Government of National Unity whose agenda is to put Zambia first.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tayali said that the unity of the opposition political parties is very real, as they have been having discussions and interactions on the Alliance, and he is happy that a lot of people have welcomed the idea of forming an Alliance where they put Zambia first.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings are going on very well, am encouraging Zambians to be part of the Alliance, as we are all gifted differently and some of you are intellectuals who are learned and understand things from a different perspective, am also encouraging the young people to be part of this Alliance and offer whatever they can.<\/p>\n<p>Let us all unite by putting Zambia first,\u201d Mr Tayali said He mentioned that looking at the agenda of the Alliance which is to put Zambia first, people should forget about the political party affiliations which they belong to but everyone at this point in time should come together irrespective of the different political ideologies, and affiliations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom my point of view, am very grateful with a number of opposition party leaders who have shown positivity in this and are willing to work together, am so humbled and praying that we succeed in this Alliance,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tayali has urged members of the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) who have seen that President Hakainde Hichilema doesn\u2019t mean well for this country are free to come and join the Alliance as the Alliance is not excluding the UPND but rather including reasonable UNPND members to come forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know in UPND there are some people that mean well for this country, and those who are indoctrinated by not thinking properly should continue staying in UPND,\u201d Mr Tayali said<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether President Hichilema likes it or not, his going as he has failed and the UPND is gone,\u201d he added<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the independence that we are celebrating now means that, this country belongs to all Zambians who are supposed to be part of the leadership of this country, the independence that the fore father won meant that people have attained that self-rule, as they were being ruled by the colonizers the British but the forefathers fought by saying they want to rule themselves and 58 years ago they lifted the flag of independence to say they have attained self-rule, that is what independence means.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tayali said that because of this independence that was attained, young people should not relegate the responsibility of running this country to only a few individuals, all the young people are supposed to be part of the governance of this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAm emphasizing that all the young people are supposed to be part of the leadership of this country, don\u2019t seat back and wait for President Hichilema to appoint you or give you a join in the government and now you will feel like you are part of the governance, no, by the fact that you are born Zambian, you are supposed to be part of the leadership of this country, don\u2019t allow a few individuals to take this country into oblivion and disaster,\u201d Mr Tayali mentioned<\/p>\n<p>He disclosed that young people can be part of governance by making sure that they speak out on the issues relating to the governance of this country, young people should not shun away from this by stating that they don\u2019t talk about politics or anything related to politics, everyone should talk about the governance of the country as politics affects everyone including the church.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of us are supposed to talk about politics and the affairs of this country,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Mr Tayali has since called upon all church leaders not to sit back and let the affairs of the country to only be in the hands of the politicians as the church is also a part of this country and therefore leaders in the church should also contribute in the affairs and the running of this country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issues of politics should not be relegated, even the church and Pastors should be free to discuss politics,\u201d he stated<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the intervention of the church through prayers and advice will help the politicians to come up with ideas that will be of great benefit and work for the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAm encouraging church leaders to come forward to talk to politicians and pray for us, we need to heal, and unite this country which is highly broken,\u201d Mr Tayali said<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211;
