By Terrence Mawawa| United Kingdom based Progressive Democrats of Zimbabwe leader (PDZ), Barbara Nyagomo, says she has returned to Zimbabwe to remove President Robert Mugabe and Zanu PF from power in the 2018 poll and put an end to the woes bedevilling the country.
“I have returned home to fight for the people’s freedom. I live with the people and I am using public transport in order to identify with the suffering people of Zimbabwe. I am here to fight for freedom and there is no going back,” said Nyagomo.
As the Renewal Team and MDC leaders Morgan Tsvangirai and Welshman Ncube seem to be losing the influence in political circles- leaving the 92 year old Mugabe enjoying a power vacuum, Nyagomo claims her party is a ray of hope to defeat Zanu PF.
Nyagomo, a professional nursing practitioner, social work specialist and philanthropist also alleges her innovations have been copied by Joice Mujuru’s Zim People First and the First Lady Grace Mugabe.
She told ZimEye.com in an exclusive interview yesterday, she returned to Zimbabwe ,after leaving the country in 1997, to tackle ZANU PF’s waning stranglehold.
“I am not intimidated and I will keep on fighting for the people’s total freedom from dictatorship. I am eating black jack so that I can identify with the people of Zimbabwe who cannot afford decent meals.My greatest joy is to leave with the ordinary people,” she continued.
Nyagomo further encouraged Zimbabweans to forge a united front and defeat Mugabe’s dictatorship.
“This is the time for all progressive minded people to join hands and remove Mugabe from power-come 2018.We are setting up structures across the whole country and we are here to prove that we can stand up and be counted,”said Nyagomo.
Although political analysts have remained cynical about the possibility of defeating Mugabe without the formation of the grand coalition, Nyagomo insists her party will defeat the revolutionary party in 2018.
