By Own Correspondent| Permanent Secretary in the Information ministry Nick Mangwana has described MDC leader Nelson Chamisa as a drama queen out to seek attention following reports that he was not allowed entry into the National Sports Stadium for the memorial music gala of the late Dr Oliver Mtukudzi.

Chamisa was reportedly barred by state security agents to enter the National Sports Stadium with his motorcade, and he failed to pay his last respects.

However, Mangwana said Chamisa was not barred from entering the stadium arguing that the opposition leader was treated the same way everyone else was treated.

He said security details did not allow everyone else, including Government ministers, to enter the stadium in their vehicles.

Said Mangwana:

He was not barred. All other dignitaries including ministers were parking their cars outside and walking in. But Chamisa refused and wanted to drive in. Security protocol did not allow this and he walked away. He was not denied entry. Chamisa is being a drama queen. A prima donna out to attract attention for the sake of it. Government has no business barring people from funerals or any functions, but protocol has to be followed. We are not a chaotic Government.
