Since the announcement
of reorganization of the basic organs of the Cameroon People Democratic
Movement CPDM by the National Chairman of the Party Paul Biya, reports of
strange activities have been heard from around the country as hopefuls into
section leadership functions lay down different strategies.
In the newly created
Bamenda III Section or Bamenda C as the party prefers to call it, the battle is
taking a different twist. On Social media battle is taking a different twist. In a facebook
post recently by one Ndonwie Peter, he presents two pictures one being Dr
Ndonwie Peter (likely the one who posted from the pictures) and Ngante Martin.
According to this
Ndonwie Peter, who we cannot differentiate from Dr Ndonwie Peter they are the
personalities eyeing the position of Section President. Since we cannot
differentiate the Ndonwie Peter from Dr Ndonwie Peter, we conclude that it is
the same person. Other members of the facebook forum (Bamenda III Political
Debate Forum) where the debate is going on equally refer to Ndonwie Peter as
Doctor. In fact though sounding like a moderator, Ndonwie Peter placed a
comment referring to Dr Ndonwie Peter as Ndonwie Peter thus giving us more reasons to conclude that it’s the same person.
In the initial post he
says “……the race for the position of CPDM Section president for Bamenda III
will be a do or die race as we are going to see a real crash(maybe he meant Clash)
of Titans.” If an aspirant describes the
race as “do or die”, there is reason to get worried as to how far people are
prepared to go. While there are many attempts to give the impression that they are
different persons, so too there are many to proof that it is the same person
acting as referee and player at the same time.
Supporters of the said
Dr Ndonwie Peter have been lining up various reasons as to why he should be
Section President and as soon as anyone makes a submission as to why the other
candidate should be it becomes a problem as Ndonwie Peter and his followers throw blows trying to water down the idea.
The flexing of muscles
by the said aspirant will require immediate intervention from party hierarchy
before the fight goes deadly.
Ngante Martin who has
been presented on the Forum as an aspirant has described the placing of his
picture on facebook as unlawful. In a comment which he posted, he instructs Ndonwie
Peter to stop using his name for his selfish interest. Simple observation will suggest from the
comment that Mr Ngante is not yet ready to declare his intentions to run for
the office of Section president talk less of opening campaigns.
Since his formal
declaration for the CPDM, the Paramount Fon of Nkwen could have been another
aspirant to watch out for. The party electoral laws on eligibility however
forbid first and second class Fons from running for any executive office in the basic organs.
It is however not clear
as to why the Forum moderator (Ndonwie Peter) decided to single out only Dr
Ndonwie Peter and Ngante Martin when many others including Minister of Missions
at the Presidency of the Republic Atanga Nji Paul based in Bamenda III and
currently Section President for Mezam I, Vally Kilo an active militant of the
party who could possibly be eyeing the function of section.
Elsewhere
Reports from Nkambe
Donga Mantung Division of the Northwest Region talk of the arrest and of a witch doctor from Nigeria in possession of a Cameroonian Identity Card. His
first release on bail has remained mysterious as the Guardian post confidential
sources say it was master minded by some CPDM heavy weights from the Nation’s
Capital Yaounde. The witch doctor who was not only seen in possession of a
Cameroonian Identity Card was also seen with an erected penis struggling to
penetrate the anus of a male (sodomy) in a locked room. Whether for sexual or
spiritual satisfaction only the recaptured witch-doctor can tell but what is
clear is that he enjoys protection from very high. General opinion particularly
from some opposition parties in Nkambe say the CPDM elite in Misaje imported
the witch doctor for fortification as they prepare for the reorganization of the
basic organs of the party. This is just one of the many stories we will surely
hear until the reorganization ends in December even when campaigns have not
been officially launched.
