BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Former President of Malawi and President of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Peter Muthalika, has asked one of the aspirant to the DPP Presidency to stop using a poster of himself with the face of the late Professor Bingu Wa Muthalika on it.
According to a statement that has been released by the former leader of the country addressed to the public dated January 3, 2022 that The Maravi Post has seen, though no name was mentioned but it’s DPP Southern Region vice president Kondwani Nankhumwa who has done that.
Muthalika said that what has happened is total disrespect to the late Muthalika and as President of the DPP and head of the Muthalika family, he is distressed by such exploitation of their departed relative.
“It has come to my attention that one individual who apparently is an aspirant to the DPP Presidency has posted a poster in which he has put the face of the former President of the party Professor Bingu Wa Muthalika,” reads the statement.
It further highlighted that the purpose of such callous action is to give the impression that the late Bingu would have endorsed such individual’s candidacy.
“I’m therefore asking the individual concerned to withdraw this poster and never post another one,” It reads. “On behalf of my family, I’ m asking this individual to respect Bingu’s soul and to let him Rest In Peace,” the statement concludes.
This is clear sour relationship has been displayed in the public between Nankhumwa and Mutharika.
