zitto junior,
Honestly speaking, I assent with y'all... I mean, you and
Nyani Ngabu including anyone with similar views!!
First, I totally agree with you that, the existing political playground is terrifyingly UNFAIR!! Denying this is like denying the fact that, it's not the sun that's moving but just the planet earth! For the first time since the multiparty system, it’s officially no one political party is allowed to play politics at a national level, except CCM.... wtf!
But even at a provincial level, the Oppositions aren't free to do politics! Whenever they are in their political gatherings, those guys in super khaki suits will always be there waiting for anything, even a word or two, only to illegalize the gathering and victimize the targeted opposition officials!!!
Again, the political environment is completely discriminative! And with the above two paragraphs, I totally agree with you!
But here we come to Ngabu’s views regardless of his motives behind!
Anytime, anywhere, people will need strong leaders to break through any unforeseen turbulent situation!!! No justification for the leaders' failure to do so cuz' they were put there only among other things, to engage and win the battles under different circumstances!
If you were trained only to win during the rainless time, then you're not fit enough to lead the dream team cuz' you've no control over that shit to spray down the earth!
Mr. Freeman Mbowe is a leader under this discussion now!
Now, what has Mbowe exactly done to battle this situation?! And remember, we're talking about the chairman here of whom, we don't expect him to do like others but beyond others!!
And while Magufuli only banned political activities at a national level for non-national level leaders, how many political activities at national level Mbowe has attempted to do with his national level team but ended to be arrested?! What has Mbowe exactly done to confront this political unfairness to the point the general public exclaimed: "Wow! There you are Mr. Chairman!"
Probably am missing something here but can anyone lemme know if, among all other suits, there's any that meant to battle the banning of political activities which, in fact, not political activities but oppositions activities?!
Again, probably am missing something here, cuz' all I can see now is for Mr. Mbowe to wait for any possible by-election and then what?! Expecting to win under existing chained political freedom?! No way....
You may probably hate to admit that, CHADEMA is no longer a unit and that's an inescapable truth. And this didn't come by chance or there's a black cat outta there who brought all this!
CHADEMA stopped to be one a moment Mr. Mbowe reversed a gear in the space as he claimed to! It stopped to be one a minute Mr. Lowassa replaced Dr. Slaa as a possible CHADEMA/UKAWA candidate during 2015 General Election!
Probably Lowassa brought in more votes and more MPs but all this came at the expense of CHADEMA's Unity which's very important not only during the election but even after! I don’t see if that bond exists any longer and if it does, just a loose and weak bond!
And to be honest, what happens now, we predicted it since 2015 but CHADEMA Hardliners kept playing an Ostrich game by burying their heads in the sand!
We didn’t predict the existence of claimed trade between CCM and cheap CHADEMA MPs & Councilors! We didn’t predict President Magufuli would ban political activities for the oppositions! But we predicted of the possible WEAK CHADEMA! And there's no doubt that, all this happens because CHADEMA is too weak to battle with Magufuli’s administration!
People might opt to keep burying their heads deep in the sand but the truth is: CHADEMA is weak because the leadership is weak and there’s no justification for this.
There’s no justification because, in leadership you accept responsibilities knowing there are bunches of hurdles outta there, and you, as a team leader, these hurdles are opportunities to show your leadership skills!
This's the time when people need to spot the difference between the chairman and man on the chair!! This's the time when a Captain needs to break through that motherfu.ck storm preparing to take y'all down that monster sea, or else, stand back cuz' you're of no use at least until the storm is over.
