MMD Ndola district vice information and publicity secretary Alex Mubanga has said PF leader Michael Sata had no right to tell Vice-President Rupiah Banda that he was still a UNIP member. And Mubanga has asked Sata to give up the MMD membership card that he has been holding on to, saying MMD cadres would get it by force if he failed to surrender it. Mubanga yesterday said Sata should stop referring to Rupiah as a member of UNIP since he (Sata) had not yet surrendered his MMD membership card.

“Sata was once MMD and he when formed PF, no one criticised him. Why should he talk bad about the Vice-President when he was still holding on to the MMD membership card? Sata still loves MMD, that is why PF members don’t have membership cards,” he said.

Mubanga warned of serious action if Sata did not return the card.
“We are not going to sit and watch Sata insult our leader when he has what rightfully belongs to us.

We want him to publicly renounce the MMD membership he is holding on to. If he does not surrender the card, we will get it by force.

We are going to mobilise cadres from the Copperbelt to show him that we are not playing,” said Mubanga. “We are going to stay at his door step until he gives us our card back. Sata is ungrateful.”
