Those who will refuse to move to Dodoma will be fired.Says President Magufuli

The Head of State was speaking to Singida residents during his first official tour of the region.

“Once I move to Dodoma, I will sell ministerial buildings in Dar es Salaam.

Those who will refuse to move to Dodoma will be fired. We cannot continue singing the same song for more than 50 years.

Some of those who proposed the idea are already dead and we are still singing the same verses,” he said.

He also warned members of the opposition who are planning to conduct demonstrations on September 1, this year, saying they should avoid trifling with him.

“I am warning politicians to stop trying me. Those who are planning countrywide demonstration should stop.

And if they demonstrate, let the leaders be in front and allow children and youth to stay at their back,” he said.

The head of state said political leaders give ‘alcoholic sachets’ to youth and encourage them to demonstrate.

He said the politicians remain in hotels waiting to see what will happen.

“We were elected to lead and deliver. I will not allow anybody to stop me or delay me from serving Tanzanians,” said Dr Magufuli.

He added that those who are planning to take to the streets on September 1, must understand the consequences of their actions.

“Those who will dare to demonstrate will never forget what will happen to them. I am quite different from others.
