Breaking: Mugabe ‘agrees’ to step down

– Mugabe states requirements for stepping down

President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe has agreed to the terms of his resignation and a letter has been drafted, according to news getting to us in NaijaNews from a source.

Quoting a source, “the news network said the army generals had given into many of Mugabe’s demands, including full immunity for himself and his wife Grace, and that he would keep his private property”.

further information setting in from the source states, “the aim of Sunday’s televised address in which Mugabe appeared to resist calls to step aside was to ensure the veteran leader openly declared the military’s actions to be constitutional”.

For the resignation to be formally sealed and acknowledged, a letter must first be sent to the speaker of parliament, added the source.

Mugabe had stunned the nation on Sunday when he refused to say in a live televised address if he was stepping down.

His party had earlier given him 24 hours to resign or be impeached after military seized power and kept him under house arrest.

On Saturday, thousands of Zimbabweans had taken to the streets for their voices to be heard and the same time calling for him to go.

But in a bizarre and rambling speech, Mugabe instead insisted he was going nowhere, and that he would see his political party Zanu-PF through its congress in a few weeks.

Zimbabweans who had been glued to state television to watch the speech live came out into the streets afterward, some in shock.

Harare resident Tina Madzimure called the speech “an embarrassment really. He made a fool out of the generals.”

“This man will go to his grave with Zimbabwe in his hands,” she told the source.
