Uchaguzi 2020 Tundu Lissu is not Presidential Material

[Mindi]

Now that Tundu Lissu has made some progress in his convalescence, it is of no surprise that he has decided to get back into the fray.

He has done several interviews with both foreign and domestic media outlets, he has penned a letter from a Nairobi hospital bed, and lastly held a presser In Nairobi right before his voyage to Belgium. I wonder if we’ll also get a ‘letter from a rehab room in Brussels or wherever he’s at in Belgium. We shall see.

Having done all that, he is also now fair game. It’s now okay to respond to him, to attack him [not physically], to criticize him, etc.

Because he has basically picked up where he left off, I’m starting to hear some folks in certain quarters float his name as a potential 2020 presidential candidate. Perhaps these folks think he has shown he has what it takes to take on the JPM in the next presidential contest. That’s fine. Nothing wrong with that. If I were him I’d probably try to parlay the notoriety I’ve gained over these past two years into something bigger, like the presidency.

But I’ve said it so many times, right here and elsewhere, that he is not a presidential material. He is, at best, a political gadfly, and maybe, at worst, a rabble-rouser.

A presidential material, he is not.

Just my two cents from a distance. I wish you all a happy Sunday!

I have noted that you have collected a few punches in this thread, but what surprises me is that while you usually respond very quickly, this time you have taken your time!

I think it is now irrelevant to talk of "Presidential material" people. with JPM at the helm, and doing and saying the most "unpresidential" words and things, and still somehow we get by, I think if Tanzanians can allow JPM to be shoved down their throats, then they can almost eat anything, let alone Tundu, but there are more, shall we say, interesting people like, er, Juliana Shonza, Humphrey Polepole, and yees, Kibajaji from Mtera!! Just think about it, President Kibajaji!!

I have noted that you have collected a few punches in this thread, but what surprises me is that while you usually respond very quickly, this time I have not seen your responses!!

Punches? What punches? Those are girly punches. Not fazed at all.

You didn’t see me respond as quickly as I usually do because my phone ran out of charge and stupid Tanesco decided to cut the power. And power just came back like 20 mins ago.

Nevertheless, per usual, most of the commenters are foaming at the mouth. Zero reason and a ton of emotion. Typical kamanda traits.

What else?

 

[Interested Observer]

Wow....your English is hard! Teh teh teh

Typical of a destitute Rosen up: you try to “character “ assassinate

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

what common you share with your Brother in the office? Rage. .......also ranting!
You like words like a....hole, stupid, faggort ...hmm !!

Do you even know that you are not making any sense? Methinks not.

All assasins never give up power, your brother attempted assasination of Tunda Lisu will be kept in files for a long time. He is still too young to plan that; he is going to end up jailed

Nyani as your name stands

Your brother attempted assasination of Tunda Lisu Esq, is not going to end today, and understand that together with you, I mean Nyani Ngabu, and the URT President now, are sadistic and barbaric.

We have only one President Of URT who shot 16 bullets in a politician body, total of 38 bullets using the WMD weapons of mass destruction

Nyani Ngabu why are you so envy with Tundu Lissu? You are Sukuma by tribe, maybe you are looking for something, but don't use Tundu Lissu as your stepping stone. Kama Msukuma mwenzio kakutoa USA ili akupe ukuu wa wilaya atakupa tu Hata Bila kumnanga Na kumsimanga Tundu Lissu.

Good of you; I heard this story long time ago, and I was questioning myself are they backward by education, wealth while they have gold, diamonds, big herds of cattle!! Akili mbaya

 

[Nyani Ngabu]

Why do you say that he is not a presidential material?

Because he ain’t.

 

[Rweye]

Nevertheless, we just need him as he is not as a president one!

Nyani Ngabu,

..TL has ways to go before we can say he is a Presidential material.

..U have to remember that, and this is from several statements he has made, he is more interested in "mapambano ya bungeni" than serving in the executive.

..So there is a transition that he needs to make, and I suspect it might be very difficult for him, from being a human rights[rule of law, constitution] activist and a government critic, to a viable presidential candidate.

..I think if he is surrounded by the right ppl, and if he listens to their advice he may end up being the best presidential candidate to have ever run on the opposition ticket in Tz.

..And I am saying that by taking into consideration the combination of talents and experience tha TL has.

..He is a polished public speaker. His command of both Swahili and English is better compared to many who have previously run for the presidency. Anaweza kuhamasisha.

..He well grounded in what he believes in and stands for , and that is human rights, rule of law, democracy, and constitutionalism. Those who ran in previous elections you could not tell what they stood on.

..If you combine his core values and a good ILANI YA UCHAGUZI, then you might have something interesting.

..He is well read. Also internationally exposed, he did his masters program in the Uk and if i recall he worked for an international NGO and was stationed in the US. Hatopwaya kimataifa.

..Last, he has a compelling life story. My Nigerian friends would have said : " His tori gon spaya you." I believe with a skillfull campaign team backing him he can be presented as an inspiring candidate.

..Again, I agree with you that he is NOT a Presidential material,but...but I think he there is something interesting/intriguing about him.
