The Social Democratic Front of Ni John Fru Ndi was the centre of attraction during the 42nd edition of May 20th celebrations at the Bamenda Grandstand in commercial avenue. Not only did the party prove that the North West was its fief through its numerical strength, but they also received thunderous applause from the crowd and a standing ovation from some of its party bigwigs of the region at the grandstand as the militants marched pass.
    Led by the party’s brass band and beautifully clad in the SDF fabric and t-shirts, the militants chanted songs glorifying national unity and thrilled onlookers with their famous “tell me your party if you don’t know SDF?” song. Despite this, SDF Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi was conspicuously absent.

    Presided over by the Governor of the North West Region, Adolf Lele L’Afrique, and assisted by the SDO for Mezam Nguele Nguele Felix, May 20th celebrations at the Bamenda Grandstand in Commercial Avenue took place under tight security dispositions.
    Prior to the start of the military and civilian march pass, the Governor awarded 62 medals of various categories to some Cameroonians who distinguished themselves in their selfless services to the state of Cameroon. As a novelty during the civilian march pass this year, primary school pupils were allowed to sing patriotic songs.
Speaking to journalists after the celebrations Governor Adolf Lele L’Afrique congratulated the heads of the different committees set to organize the event for their brilliant success. He equally thanked the entire population for being supportive and the military for their efforts in maintaining peace and security.
    The celebrations ended with a grand gala at the Bamenda Congress Hall.
