By Wamey Panky.
Barons of
the Bui V Section of the Cameroon People Democratic Movement (CPDM) party,
Noni, in the North West Region have like lizards praised themselves for
lobbying and grabbing more than half a billion for 2014 Public Investment
Budget (PIB) in Noni. This was during the 29th anniversary of the
CPDM party celebrated at the Nkor Community Hall in the watchful eyes of the
Divisional Officer for Noni, Divine Ngome Nkwele.
In his
speech, the Section President Nform Alfred Nforgwei Mbeng said, in the history
of Noni Sub-Division, they had never had such a weightier size of the national
cake. He continued that those were some of the fruits of CPDM’s five years at
the helm of the Council. He exposed that the envelop from PIB shall sponsor
projects ranging from furnishing classrooms to electrification of the
Sub-Division. It was cited that the electrification which had been welcome with
a lot of excitement and fanfare by the people, carries FCFA 90million spread
over a period of three years; meanwhile FCFA 25million would be coughed out for
the first phase to start this year. The villages to be electrified are: Din,
Nkor, Lassin and Mbinon. He disclosed that the electrification of Djottin which
is to begin soon would be funded by the PNDP programme. The Section President
named their several achievements and others yet to accomplish such as the
irrigation project at Mii and the Nkor town green.
Nevertheless,
Alfred Nforgwei greatly regretted that despite their efforts to develop the
area severally, they preferred the Social Democratic Front, S.D.F, party at the
September 2013 Municipal poll thus causing them to lose the council they only
controlled for one term. He blamed their victory on “cheating in some quarters”
and on their own militants who mortgaged their votes to the opposition. He said
that was politically sacrilegious. This not withstanding, he said they were not
to vindicate such militants but to call on them to remorsefully retrieve those
votes and make-up by canvassing for more. He consoled militants that five years
were not too long and so they should get to the field.
Corroborating
his President, the Section President of the YCPDM, Nilian Kibuh blamed
militants for lack of love and truthfulness. He frowned at those militants of
the CPDM party who surrendered their votes to the opposition SDF party to force
the CPDM shamefully hand-over the Council to them. Mr. Nilian Kibuh also
faulted the defeat on the in-house fighting within the party, and prayed on
party hierarchy in the Bui V Section to always consider other villages and the
roles play by other personalities within the party. He still assured the Noni
youths that their future lie in the hands of the CPDM ruling party.
On her
part, the Principal of GHS Nkor, Marceline Mbinglo, herself the Secretary
in-charge of Lower Organs in the Bui I
Section, Kumbo told militants all was not yet lost. He advised them to revise
their political strategies. She said they should remain friendly especially to
those they consider militants of the opposition. Zooming at the failure
registered during the municipal election, she blamed it on poor choices of
candidates that rather infuriated their own militants who then preferred
dashing their votes but to the opposition. Mrs. Mbinglo advised that it was
time they combed the area for more militants.
The
Divisional Officer for Noni, Divine Ngome Nkwele lambasted the Noni CPDM
bigwigs for egoism and unnecessary in-house fighting that marred their victory
at the last elections. He observed that some of their militants were angry with
uncompromising choices of candidates and decided to sanction the party with
their votes. He then prayed them not to seek for punishment on such militants
but should endeavour solemn reconciliation. “A house divided against itself
cannever stand.” The D.O concluded.
Earlier on,
on behalf of the Fons of Nkor, HRH the Fon of Mben Palace emphasized that
politics was development. He pleaded mutual coexistence among the parties in
Noni. He begged that they should build a common platform of collaboration with
the SDF party that holds the Council for the sake of development.
