Acie Lumumba’s Surprising Endorsement Shakes Up Political Landscape for Nelson Chamisa
Self-proclaimed People’s Champion, Acie Lumumba’s surprising public endorsement for Advocate Nelson Chamisa, the presidential candidate of the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC), ahead of the upcoming harmonized elections, shakes Zimbabwe’s political landscape.
A Personal Encounter with Humility
Lumumba shared a personal encounter with Chamisa after being released from the hospital. He expressed his surprise when he arrived home to find Chamisa waiting at his gate without his security team. Lumumba stated that this act touched him deeply.
“The day I left hospital and travelled home, I found him parked outside my gate waiting for me without security in a tinted private car. Before my family, friends, pastor or my Cde’s,” stated Lumumba.
According to Lumumba, he asked Chamisa why he had visited without security despite their political differences.
Lumumba quoted Chamisa as saying, “You are my young brother, I do not need security around me to see you.”
Chamisa’s response revealed the humility and compassion he possesses.
A Moment of Unity and Prayer
Before leaving Lumumba’s residence, Chamisa called upon Lumumba’s staff and their children to join him in prayer.
“I still had a family then. Before he left my house, he called my staff and their children. He led the home in prayer before he departed,” stated Lumumba.
Chamisa’s Heart for Zimbabweans
Lumumba concluded his endorsement by expressing his belief that Chamisa is the real joker in the upcoming election. He emphasized Chamisa’s heartfelt concern for the people of Zimbabwe and his admiration for Chamisa’s love and dedication.
“I could go on and on, moral of the point is we don’t talk enough about how after all is said and done. Nelson Chamisa is a people person, as in he really really has a heart for people. He is the joker, I’m not even MDC, so imagine the love he has for those one,” stated Lumumba.
