Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Secretary General Greselder Jeffrey’s remarks that a northerner will never rule Malawi have attracted public attention with some quarters threatening to sue her.
The Church and Society for Church of Central Africa Presbyterian (CCAP) under Livingstonia synod has disclosed that they are to sue the DPP secretary general arguing that her remarks can promote “civil war”.
Executive director of the Church and Society for the synod Moses Mkandawire said they are to drag Jeffrey to court to explain what she meant when she told a rally that northerners cannot produce a president.
“Statements like these have led others asking to be standalone states in some countries and this has caused war, so we have planned to sue against the secretary general so that she can explain to us what she meant in saying the region cannot have someone who can become a president,” said Mkandawire.
Political experts have also faulted Jeffrey’s remarks arguing they promote “regionalism” in the country.
Mustapha Hussein who is among the political experts in Malawi has faulted the sentiments arguing that it is wrong to judge the region basing on its low population.
Concurring with Hussein, another political expert Humphrey Mvula has described the sentiments as “insults” to the people of the region.
However, Jeffrey has since demanded evidence of voice clip on what she said that the region cannot have a president who can rule the country.

U frm the north just win & proove a liar period.do u want to b told what u want to hear? Thats absolutely her opinon.mind u opinion r free of charge
Is the North not part of Malawi? She must think before making such nonsense coments
I don’t see the reason that qualifies the lady the lawsuit, let me tell u all that follow DPP but from the North; we really have intellectual politicians , many of them being Lawyers but the problem is that these pple never prove themselves their desired role in any ruling party on the Helm. For instance , during Mr Muluzi’s tenure we had Mr Aleke Banda , and many other northers’s big guns , they were all underdogs in UDF and the same applied to late Bingu tenure , so this lady is very true though it has bn publicly said, am also from the north , I believe the same unless miraculously gesture
