Days after the Opposition Chief Whip in Tanzania, Tundu Lissu escaped assassination attempt, new evidence has come into limelight exposing a massive plot to end his life on internal power struggles.
Local newspapers in Dar es Salaam that were also accessed in Nairobi, cited impeccable sources within the main opposition party, Chadema, narrating the ordeal of how Lissu’s premature interest on party’s top leadership post and ultimately nomination as Chadema’s presidential candidate hastened his own peril. Mr. Lissu is now recovering in a Belgium hospital.
“The main reason for what happened to Mr. Lissu’s life, I can confide, is directly linked to his own political interests. Top party leaders were openly unhappy with what was about to happen; ultimately they chose to thwart his ambitions,” said a member of the Opposition who fled to the ruling party, CM, couple of days ago.
Lissu in a hospital bed. Mr. Mbowe has never visited him since he was transfered to the BelgiumThe MP, Mwita Mwikwambe, revealed the top-notch secret addressing in a public rally in the on-going Parliamentary by-elections. He explicitly, cited how the Chadema National Chairman, Freeman Mbowe, became furious having learnt that several MPs were on Lissu’s front.
Mr. Mbowe the Tanzanian Opposition Leader“He (Mr. Mbowe) threatened on my live in front a dozen party officials for my decision to support Mr. Lissu. He promised to deal with me and everybody on our chain. Two weeks later, Lissu was lying on a hospital bed fighting for his life from over 30 bullet wounds,” added Mr. Mwikwambe.
Mr. Mbowe has consistently resisted Lissu’s driver from meeting investigators on medical reasons. He has also never visited the MP in hospital since he was transferred from Nairobi to Belgium.
Several top Chadema officials have neither denied nor confirmed the allegations as everyone reached for comment kept the distance.
