The 1ST Vice National Chairman of the SDF,
Joshua Osih Nambangi is highly awaited in Limbe on 14 November 2015 for the
grand presentation and launching of the project to construct a community centre
that will also host the permanent secretariat of the SDF in Limbe.
According
to the Limbe I Electoral District Chairman of the SDF, Ndenge Godden Zama, the
community centre project is the brainchild of his administration that was voted
into office in May this year. He disclosed that presently funds are already
being raised from within party ranks in the city to kick start the project that
is expected to run into several millions.
Thus
the visit of Joshua Osih to Limbe is for him to chair the ceremony to present
the community centre project to SDF militants in particular and the population
of Limbe in general.
Ndenge
Godden Zama noted in a statement that: “It is not just the construction of a
Secretariat, the project will comprise a community centre for the people of
Limbe and a permanent secretariat of the SDF party here. So the project is
bigger than just a secretariat. It will be a community centre where SDF
militants will come and interact with the population of Limbe; it will have a
hall for ceremonies like weddings and cultural festivals .The community centre
will also help bring people to the heart of the SDF. It will have workshops for
welding and sewing where young people in Limbe can come and be trained. The
centre will also have a canteen where the militants and the people of Limbe can
come together and learn more about the SDF party. So the project is not just a
secretariat; we envisage a community centre where SDF militants can interact
with the population of Limbe”.
About
the 2018 elections, Zama said: “we are extremely sure that we are going to
deliver the election s in Limbe.It is not something that is negotiable. It is
something that we have committed ourselves and the people of Limbe and our own
children. We owe this to them and I think everybody in Limbe understands that
we cannot be intimidated. For the presidential and parliamentary elections it
is not something that is under debate. We have the obligation to deliver Limbe.
So we want to promise militants of the party that the issue of the
presidential, parliamentary and council elections in Limbe has already been
closed.”
Commenting
on the circumstances surrounding his election in May, the chairman said the SDF
in Limbe had been suffering from lack of leadership. An interim executive was
put in place to conduct elections within six months, through convening a
district conference. Due to the inability of the interim executive to succeed,
their mandate was extended to one year. During this period the SDF went through
a lot of difficulties. During that one year, he was out of the country for five
months. When he came back he realized that the party was still struggling with
problems. Thus he and his team immediately mobilized militants for a district
conference. During that conference, he was elected Victoria electoral district
chairman.
