I will not work for or with any factionalist. It's a profound privilege for me to work for & with Cde RG Mugabe, a global Pan-Africanist! https://t.co/VsJm4QDPJ4

He and Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere also took time to criticise Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa for calling on President Mugabe to step down for Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa.
In numerous tweets Moyo said,
If on the one hand there's a power hungry individual & on the other hand there's leadership & legacy; it's politicide to go for the former!

"Mugabe must step down for Mnangagwa". The politics of using surrogates this way can quickly lead to political ruin!https://t.co/WbBVTmUvjW

Speaking to NewsDay, Kasukuwere said Mliswa was daydreaming, vowing Mugabe would stay put and had already been endorsed by all the party’s structures to contest the 2018 presidential elections.
