Former Zambian President Edgar Lungu has announced his departure from the Ibex Hill government house provided to him as part of his retirement benefits, a decision that follows his sudden resurgence into active politics and the recent turmoil surrounding his political re-entry.
Lungu’s statement regarding the relinquishment of the government-provided dwelling was made Monday during a visit to the Police Force Headquarters, where he was seeking clarity, alongside other estranged senior Patriotic Front (PF) officials, about their denial of access to the party Secretariat.
Lungu expressed concerns about perceived threats from United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres targeting his family at the Ibex Hill residence, prompting their decision to vacate the premises.
He emphasized that his family had already left the house and had not stayed there overnight.
This headline-making announcement surfaces merely two days following Lungu’s unexpected return to the political landscape, adding further intrigue to an already eventful comeback to the political scene.
Edgar Lungu’s swift reentry into the political fray brings not only political headlines but personal reverberations.
His abrupt exit from the government residence underscores the intensity and gravity of the unfolding political dynamics.
This news marks another chapter in the dramatic political journey of the former Zambian head of state.
