My absence at the show grounds is not an issue-HH

United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema says those criticizing him for not attending the prayer and fasting at the show grounds are entitled to their opinion.
Mr. Hichilema says people can criticize him and voice out their opinions on his absence from the show grounds, but states that it was not mandatory for everyone to be present.

And Mr Hichilema states that much as he believes God is there to help the nation, if there is no leadership, the nation collapses.
Mr Hichilema adds that the bible is clear that where there is no leadership people perish.
