SDO Lifts Ban On Guzang Market

By Peterkins Manyong

Momo SDO Francoise Bona Ebengue has lifted a ban imposed on Guzang Market in Momo Division.The ban was lifted last week after intense negotiations with the Guzang people, led by their traditional ruler, Fon Mbah Mbanyamsig III.

Briefing The Post after the lifting of the administrative injunction, Fon Mbanyamsig said the SDO promised to examine closely the demands of the Guzang people contained in a memorandum since handed to him.

The memorandum, among other demands, calls on the Batibo Council to pay a substantial amount of money to the Guzang Water Committee, carry out meaningful development activities in Guzang and give Guzang people better jobs than that of night watchman.

A meeting reportedly preceded the lifting of the ban with the SDO in the market premises attended by a cross-section of the Batibo population, among them, the Mayor, the Fon of Guzang and his people. Also speaking to The Post, Batibo Mayor Thomas Mbatifuh expressed satisfaction with the lifting of the ban, but regretted that the Guzang market crisis did much to tear the SDF apart in Batibo Subdivision.

He took great exception to the conduct of top SDF officials in the municipality, who instead of standing by him during the crisis took sides with the Fon of Guzang, a CPDM supporter.
Mbatifuh was, however, pleased that the CPDM in Guzang failed to use the Guzang market crisis to effect carpet crossing from the SDF to the ruling party.

Mr.Mayor,A market is not for a party like you are thinking.It is for the community made up of people with different political affiliations.There are militants of more than just the SDF and CPDM in Guzang.Take note of that.You are today the Mayor as tomorrow you may not be.Solve this issue keeping aside political opinion.If your own people took side with the Fon it means something must be wrong with your own thinking in the matter.After all remember that you are all Guzang people and the market will always remain a Guzang property.All the community needs is good mamnagement of the funds gotten from the market.If you manage it well, I think the people will still entrust their confidence in you no matter what party they are for.A Mayor once elected does not even need to think from which party he is from while carrying on development in the community.The people become one for the purpose of development.Think of the people Mr.Mayor and not the party although you came in through the party but the people voted you there.Remember "No man can win a war against his own clan"

I am surprised where southern cameroonians are heading to. Our fon, our traditional leaders, all colonial agents. What a shame? Paul biya has bought every one. Southern cameroonians, dont be fooled, your future lies on your ability to sacrifice for the liberation of your land through working with the current southern cameroonian leadership. La republique du camerouns government and its citizens do not recognise you. In the eyes of their citizens, you are like animals with no need for a future, please, join the current southern cameroonian struggle and your future will be guaranteed.
