President Edgar Lungu has re-named Luapula University whose procurement process has commenced after the late second republican president Fredrick Titus Jacob Chiluba.
Addressing multitudes of people at Musangu village during his ongoing tour of Luapula Province the Head of State said the memory of Dr Chiluba needed to be honoured because he made great contributions to reintroduce plural politics in Zambia.
Meanwhile Information minister Chishimba Kambwili says Luapula will give President Edgar Lungu a landslide electoral vote in the August 11 polls.Dr Kambwili predicts President Lungu, who is winding up the tour of that province, will get no less than 90% of the total votes.
In our usual style we have brought laughter and joy to the campaigns. People are genuinely happy and attentive at the public meetings and rallies.
Kambwili says all constituencies visited have pledged 90% + 1 votes.
“We are genuinely together with the Zambian people, we don’t pretend nor try too hard. The bond between the people and PF stems from the hearts of all of us.
“Encouraging to know that former president FTJ has been honoured with a university being named after him, wonderful sign of respect to the people of Luapula.
