Militants of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement Fako IA Section, have been drilled on the structures and functioning of their political party. This was during a working session and a training seminar which was held on Saturday July 27th, 2024, in Limbe, by the Southwest Permanent Regional Delegation at the Central Committee of the CPDM.
The session which was chaired by the Head of the Southwest Permanent Regional Delegation, Senator Nfor Tabetando Ndiep, had in attendance the Minister of Secondary Education Prof Nalova Lyonga amongst other CPDM militants.
Senator NforTabetando Ndiep, in the course of the session, reiterated that the training was prompted mis-interpretations of their constitution.
“CPDM is a party that is well established that is governed by a text ( the constitution of the party and in that constitution we have spelled out periods when sections hold their meetings and so forth. We have come because there were issues. We have to train our militants about the Text. They were mixed up about interpretation of who is a section president, who is the leader of the party within a section, what’s the position of the mayor or a City mayor. They got this clear and we educated them”, he stated.
He went further in emphasizing that the meeting was convened to update their electoral register. “ But more importantly we came as the tradition of the party we have the electoral register which has to be updated particularly so because political consultations are around the corner and if we want to be sure that our voting capacity is maintained if not enhanced”, he revealed.
The militants of Fako IA Section were equally schooled on the domain of discipline and how to raise funds for their political party. In this light, the Head of the Southwest Permanent Regional Delegation disclosed that the session was also carried out to settle misunderstandings amongst the militants.
“If there are misunderstandings amongst the militants themselves we have heard them draw attention to them or misquoted. Because elections are in the corner certainly they are trying to exhibit their vision for certain positions in future which is not strange which shows the democratic measure that we are preaching in our party”, he recounted.
Senator NforTabetando Ndiep used this opportunity to challenge militants of Fako I and II to be united. “The militants of Fako I ,Fako II and the whole of Southwest its unity. It is to galvanize the party to give more successes and achievements for the party so we don’t want any group anywhere to beat us in our positions in the country”, he appealed to the militants. The militants of CPDM are expected to become united so as to consolidate their position as the ruling party in the country. This can only be achieved through the power of unity.
Former MRC activist asks Maurice Kamto to ‘apologize to Cameroonians’
Barrister Richard Tamfu, former MRC bigwig, says Professor Maurice Kamto, the party’s president, owes an apology to the Cameroonian people. Tamfu who was excluded from the MRC last June, along with Vice President Michèle Ndocki, for indiscipline, called on his former comrade to acknowledge his mistakes.
“It is never too late to admit one’s mistakes and say, I am sorry. Professor Maurice Kamto owes an apology to all those Cameroonians who blindly believed in his political ambitions since 2012,” he wrote on social media.
Tensions between the MRC leadership and Tamfu were already noticeable before his exclusion. He and Michèle Ndocki had denounced what they perceived as Kamto’s maneuvers to sideline Ndocki from the party’s presidential race.
