Zanu-PF National Secretary for Finance and Macro-Economic Planning and Investment Promotion Minister Obert Mpofu has said no party member from   Matabeleland region has ambitions to be President.

He said not a single person has the qualities to be President

Mpofu, told a Matabeleland North Provincial Co-ordinating Committee meeting on Saturday  in Lupane that he was fed up with top officials  whose names he did not mention, whom he said were appointed to help the President execute his duties but were now angling to dethrone him.

"In Matabeleland North Province we are very united and we will remain united. Factionalism has no place in the province and as the leadership, we might have a misunderstanding but we are all united and rally behind the President.

"People from this region have no ambition to be President. No one has the qualities to be President in this region and we are shocked that some people are saying so and so should replace the President because he is from this tribe.

"We are not involved in all that because none of us has ambition to rule," he said.
