By Farai D Hove| MDC Spokesman Obert Gutu has said he can raise the much needed $2million for the MDC congress with eyes shut overnight.

The money is needed to remove party Acting President Nelson Chamisa and vote for a new leadership.

Gutu says Chamisa was hurriedly appointed Acting President before Tsvangirai was buried.

“We could have waited…After the funeral, even back in the village where we come from. when somebody dies, even if there was a wedding that was supposed to happen…everything has to come to a hold …mo-mboita zverufu.”

Speaking during a discussion with Ruvheneko Parirenyatwa Monday evening, Gutu who also said he is still the MDC-T spokesperson said Gutu:

“I’m a member of the MDC, not only that, I’m also the MDC national spokesperson. Just to clear the confusion.”

He then added saying that he can raise the $2million with his eyes closed. He said he can do this overnight.

Gutu in a tweet last week, hinted he was quitting the party saying he was going to run for the Harare East parliamentary seat as an independent going against Tendai Biti’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) the latter who obtained the allocation under the MDC Alliance deal.
