SW region joins “The People’s Call”

By Ajongakou Santos and Bama Cham in Buea

CPDM militants and elites of the South West Region have called on the Head of State, Paul Biya to run in the 2018 presidential elections. A clarion call by the people of the South West Region to support the candidature of President Paul Biya in the forthcoming presidential elections was made last Saturday, 5 March 2016 at the Buea Independence Square.

                Going by the permanent coordinator of CPDM in the South West, Senator Peter Mafany Musonge, CPDM militants and elite of the South West are happy with their national chairman and president for the great job he is doing, and “we will like him to continue doing that job.”

                According to Mola Musonge, CPDM militants, elite and the living forces of the South West Region are emphatic about their choice.

                “It is a choice that has volcanic proportions, it a choice born out of a volcanic eruption; it is a choice pregnant with fortune, hope and a promising destiny for the entire South West Region. Our choice of Paul Biya is an act of Faith, Love, gratitude and a covenant of its own,” he added.

                Drawn from the six divisions that make up the South West Region, the Clarion call for President Paul Biya to stand in the next presidential elections in 2018 was backed by the fact that President Biya is well known in the South West Region as a believer in human dignity and freedom, an astute crusader and defender of the principles of national unity, and the diplomacy of peace and security.

                The elites also supported President Biya’s candidature because of his effective statesmanship and exemplary diplomatic skill that recovered Bakassi from foreign occupation. They are optimistic therefore that a call for him to stand in the next elections is a way of saying thank you for the strides he has made in areas of peace, security, national unity, social stability and territorial integrity of Cameroon.

                “President Biya in his economic actions and options has always committed himself to carrying out development projects in the South West Region. Amongst these strategic projects are; the Completed Mutengene-Kumba Road, the Mamfe-Ekok Road, the Mamfe-Bamenda Road, the Kumba-Mamfe road under construction, the soon to be constructed Kumba-Mundemba road, the projected works on the Limbe Deep Seaport, the Limbe Omnisport Stadium, the transformation of Urban towns of the South West Region, the preservation of both the CDC and PAMOL as leading economic powerhouses of the region. Expectedly, access roads like Kumba-Mamfe-Melong, and Mamfe-Menji-Dschang will undoubtedly benefit from the policies of President Biya’s regime,” Senator Mafany added.

                The brown folder containing “The South West People’s Call” was dramatically handed over to the South West Governor Bernard Okalia BIlai for onward transmission to the Head of State, in front of the over 4000 people that thronged at the grandstand of the historic Bongo Square in Buea.

                According to CPDM supporters and elite of the South West, no other choice can better represent their interest and aspirations better than the person they consider as their national and natural leader, Paul Biya.

                Through several speeches, notably the WCPDM section president of Lebialem- Mrs. Aminkeng Aka Tekela, the YCPDM section president of MEME I C, Mambanda- Mr. Jonas Songo Neba, all specified why Paul Biya should be the South West’s choice.

                As could be expected, some key speakers at the event in Buea somehow helped confirm the speculations that presidential elections in Cameroon could be organized even before 2018. In his  address, the CPDM Fako III section president- David Mafany Namange said “militants of the CPDM are urging the president of the Republic to stand for the next presidential elections, whenever they are organized”.

                To add to this, Senator Peter Mafany Musonge said “The South West Region has the authority and the best agreement to erupt as one man to support the president’s candidature in the forthcoming presidential elections; be it anticipated, on time, or even postponed. We are always there for him.”

                The enlarged meeting of the vital forces of the South West Region was graced by cultural dances notably the Ejagam moninkim dance from Manyu, the Edeba dance, the Ngwane dance of Kupe-Manunguba and the Asamba dance of Lebialem.

                Militants were likewise challenged to massively register on the electoral lists ahead of the elections. Meanwhile newly elected executives of the party sections and new organs of the CPDM were urged to get to work soonest.

                The occasion was ornamented by the presence of Senators, Members of Parliament, Ministers, Government Delegates, Senior Divisional Officers, Divisional Officers, Mayors, Traditional Rulers, Barristers and a host of others all from the South West Region.
