Acie Lumumba has said that MDC Alliance presidential candidate Nelson Chamisa has to stop resurrecting dead politicians. Lumumba said if Chamisa wants to win the upcoming elections he has to get rid of dead weight.
Said Lumumba:
Nelson Chamisa you are not out of the game yet but you have to get rid of the dead weight. The trouble Nelson Chamisa is having is he is you are resurrecting dead politicians…Tendai Biti was as good as dead a politician. Welshman Ncube was as good as dead a politician. You went and resurrected them, why? When you now have them next to you they are now dead weight for you. Nelson Chamisa you are a superstar. In five years from now I have no doubt you will be a mean politician to contend with. But right now you have got dead weight. You can’t argue with Zanu-PF and say Zanu-PF has dead weight when you are carrying dead weight too.
Lumumba also advises Chamisa not to ride on Morgan Tsvangirai’s legacy saying that the late opposition leader’s shoes are too big to fill. He also said that Chamisa must be ready to make the hard decisions and says that Jessie Majome is not too important.
