Fr Bwalya Hopes Sata’s Hijack Claim is A Joke Alliance for a Better Zambia president Father Frank Bwalya says he hopes that President Michael Sata’s claim that the opposition UPND had planned to hijack him is a joke. Fr Bwalya wrote on his social network wall that he doubts an opposition political party can stage such a daring act. President Sata during a ZAF pass out parade in Livingstone claimed that he had received intelligence information that the opposition United Party for National Development wanted to abduct him. Below is Fr Bwalya’s posting in full: Frank Bwalya wrote May 9, 2014. When President Sata makes a joke he doesn’t say “its a joke” afterwards. He just jokes and carries on. So in Livingstone today, I think that Mr Sata was just trying to entertain the audience when he said UPND planned to hijack him but the plot was thwarted by state security. It was a joke and the President likes to joke like this. Those of us who know him on a personal level know this side of him very well. Otherwise, who would believe that any opposition political party in Zambia would have the capacity to hijack the head of state? Of-course a political party can hire people to throw oranges, tomatoes or indeed stones from a safe distance – God forbid. So our prayer is that what President Sata said was meant to be a joke. Finally, we call upon all political players not to allow the thought of attacking one another cross their mind. Violence begets violence and two wrongs don’t make a right. We pray that God will continue to inspire our minds to desire peace at all times and that we should always seek peaceful means to solve our problems and grievances.
