The SDF Social Democratic Front, the main opposition party in Cameroon, has given itself a new political virginity from the 10th Ordinary Congress held in October 2023 in Yaoundé. With, on the back, a tribute to its founder, the chairman Ni John Fru Ndi. The new chairman has arrived: Joshua Osih. He aims to win seats in City Hall, Parliament and Etoudi. We met with Ngidjiol NGAN, minister of communications in the party’s shadow cabinet. He tells us about it.
How is the SDF doing after the death of the Chairman Fru Ndi?
Under the leadership and drive of the Chairman Honorable Chief Joshua Osih, order and discipline are gradually returning to the ranks, Party Members are regaining confidence and motivation, and the SDF proves this day by day by presenting it well Indeed, its status as a National Party, is very present in all the nooks and crannies of the national territory, it can be seen with a trip the Chairman’s national campaign which started on 6 April. The celebration of the next Unity Day on May 20, 2024, will set us further.
Can you tell us about the event in Southern Cameroons?
I would like not to return to this subject again because there is a risk that it will give a very negative note to the South Region; for, in this region as in all others, the President and his delegation met a particularly hospitable people, zealous workers, very open and receptive monarchs, joyful women, very excited young people and motive
We noted the bad condition of our roads, a real problem for our people from day to day. And we believe that after more than 60 years of independence, we should send all the aforementioned billions invested in these construction and / or rehabilitation projects of our roads with the Yaoundé system to him, but unfortunately moved away.
Cameroonians deserve much better roads. Sunday May 5, Joshua Osih and his delegation are in the Southern Region where he is also welcomed with influence by the Party Members and the people. AKOM II management to touch reality and appreciate the real level of construction work on this EBOLOWA – KRIBI road through AKOM II, a project announced with great publicity and media hype in all budgets for several decades and in the whole campaign. speeches by President BIYA raised in siege by his lieutenants and other “creatures” in this area, a project that has already swallowed several hundred billion and unfortunately has not been completed until the today.
So it is on this road and especially in Biwong Bulu District that some comrades with ostracist overtones invited themselves to the party, erecting several obstacles on the road to prevent the peaceful evolution of the march Chairman. And the party, through my voice in particular, has already spoken out about this sad event, but that cannot in any way be the only reason to appreciate and value our national journey and in particular, in the Southern Region which is, moreover, an area to which the Chairman is particularly connected.
What meaning do you give to this Chair’s visit?
It is following a resolution from the National Management Committee. This is an opportunity for Joshua Osih to reintroduce himself to his comrades with the halo he is now, in his hat as the National President of the SDF. And I don’t think I would be exaggerating if I revealed to you that the Man has also recently seen himself encouraged by his people, as a 2nd degree Commander of the Maggie Canton – Mangolo, it is in the Bakassi district of the Southern Region. -West.
So our President the Honorable Chief Joshua Osih went to meet the Cameroonian population wherever they are in the national land, to listen to them, to share their daily life with them, to solve their problems and problems understand better, well even more, research and explore with them the “paths” of solutions and answers to their many questions. It was also a good time for the Chairman to communicate with the base of the party to encourage the confidence of the soldiers and to reinforce the large registration campaign on the electoral lists.
