Militants of CPDM Mezam II Section, Santa, are still crying over what they term stolen victory following a ruling by the Supreme Court after the July 22 twin elections.
John B. Ndeh: 'SDF Stole our victory'
One year after the elections that gave them a shared council with 10 councillors and a three-vote win margin by the SDF party, the party officials still contend that they won the elections.
During a joint conference Saturday, October 25, in Santa, the Section President for Mezam II, John B. Ndeh, insisted that the Supreme Court robbed them of victory."Going by the results of the last elections, we can say without any fear of contradiction, that Santa is now ripe and only waiting to be harvested by the CPDM at the next elections.
It shall not be a winning only through the Supreme Court, as the opposition did, but effectively on the field."According to Ndeh, Santa CPDM militants did something unusual and unprecedented, because for the first time in Santa, election results spelled the difference between an "impressive win for the CPDM and an embarrassing squeaker for the SDF, which barely squeaked through polls, albeit through intimidation after refusing to accept defeat.
"By our victory, we proved to the rest of Cameroon that Santa continues to support President Paul Biya's policies and the CPDM party he leads."Ndeh said going by the results of that election, it was also clear that Santa Special Constituency is now prepared to reach higher heights in the transformation of Santa into a paradise by their strategic planning and action.
Reflecting on the theme of the conference, "Consolidating CPDM gains and achievements for 17 years," Ndeh said Santa has and shall remain the gateway to the Northwest, and has, for the years, demonstrated its political power.
He stated that Santa CPDM gave the trigger for a constitutional amendment and the rest of the militants nationwide and in the Diaspora bought and marketed the idea.He attributed the CPDM spectacular performance in the Northwest (from 28 percent in 1998 to over 40 percent in 2002) to several years of relentless campaigns by party leaders such as Hon. Achidi Achu.
He advised his militants to take advantage of the oppositions' shortcomings, formulate strategies to consolidate their political gains and also to re-conquer the Sub-division from the stranglehold of the SDF.
This Nchinda of Paul Biya, J B Ndeh have not learnt a lesson yet. You can keep fooling yourself with the rhetoric above. It is only a matter of time before your ilk are brought to order and when time comes, you shall eat your own words.

I think JB Ndeh thinks by singing praises to mr Biya,he will clinch the seat of the head of government.He should be dreaming and he will certainly end up like his fallen brother.

God will really punish these CPDM people one day. Politics should not be blatant lies and gross misrepresentations all the time. Infact these people have made Cameroonians so destitute in mind and body that I am ashamed to know that many Cameroonians really believe some of what these people say. Ofcourse being so destitute how could they know better?
What do these people mean by SDF stealing elections? But even so, now that SDF has stolen the elections what has changed in the municipality?
But the real issue here is how can a weak and poor opposition seize legitimate victory from the clutches of a well funded brutal dictatorship? If the SDF can do that in Santa why can't they apply the same tactics elsewhere? If the CPDM really won in Santa what sort of threats did the SDF make that compelled the CPDM to concede defeat and what influence did the SDF have over the supreme court for it to declare the SDF the winner? Is it because it is the chairman's home town? And if so does winning there not mean that the SDF is more popular there which should gurantee a legitimate winning? But is Santa not home to Achdi Achu and JB Nde both of whom could have combined and beaten the SDF hands down if the CPDM was more popular?
What sort of disgraceful and shameless hypochrisy is this? Just because the SDF succeeded to put a stop to the intended humiliation of the SDF chairman, there could be no other reason for that failure apart from that the SDF stole the victory. How can anyone steal electoral victory from Paul Biya's government and then even go another step further by concretizing that victory in his supreme court? Are we talking about the Cameroon I know or another country in Africa?

SOME THING IS TRUELY WRONG WITH THESE SO CALLED ELITES OF THE NORTH WEST PROVINCE. YESTERDAY THEY WERE CRYING FOUL ABOUT WHAT SOME CALL THE ''FALSE ACCUSATION'' OF FONJIDAM; TODAY J.NDEH SHAMELESSLY SAY THE C.P.D.M.'S VICTORY WAS STOLLEN BY THE S.D.F.THAT IS LIKE GOLIATH SAYING WITH JUST BARE HANDS,DAVID STOLE HIS VICTORY DISPITE THE FACT THAT HE HAD EVERY THING HE COULD USE AND HAS BEEN USING.

J B Ndeh, I think Cameroon is mature enough to know what democracy and politics are. It is a shame that you still attempt to blatantly fill great minds with deceit. I know you have your reasons for such citations. But as from today learn that u in particular can not run away from the ugly face of Biya's sparrow hawk. You disappeared and came back, who knows what threats Biya gave u be4 u returned. Lay on ur luxurous bed today and cry out loudly as you will soon be in a cage like Zacheus. Again, you can't go scot free. Its a pity but u are needed. You are the next, dont even dream of being a memeber of Biya's new government of rogues. Your time is over.
Safe journey to jail grandpa. You gangstar

Folks,
hear him, "He stated that Santa CPDM gave the trigger for a constitutional amendment and the rest of the militants nationwide and in the Diaspora bought and marketed the idea."
How gracious but shameful.
"Ndeh said Santa has and shall remain the gateway to the Northwest"
I am not sure the Honourable Member for Widikum, another CPDM MP would accept that. Seems this buffoon does not know his geography. One can access the the North West through Mamfe. Have done it several times, with a box on my head!!!! Manyu has the longest boundary with the North West Province!

Danny Boy,
To go to Mamfe now from Batibo, you are better off going through foumbam. To go through Limbe to Bamenda which are in the Southern Cameroons, you have to go through two provinces of La Republique. The road is just too rough going through Kumba and Mamfe to Bamenda which is more than 50 percent shorter. That gives enough reasons for us to fight for the independence of the Southern Cameroons and build these roads that have been made inaccesable by La Republiques colonial henchmen. Dont be fooled, you will still have to keep carrying your box on your head if you dont liberate the Southern Cameroons.

If you look at John Ndeh head and jaws, you will realize that they are all full of mud and there is noway such a head can talk sense. Stolen victory what a mockery. ndeh the web of corruption is waiting for you and there is no way you can go back to the US. Don't you know the problem Cameroon has today started from santa where a bunch of fools who called theselves cpdm asked for biya to change the constitution in order to make himself life president. John Ndeh believes life in the northwest starts from santa and ends at santa. Ndeh there are many gate ways to the northwest without passing through santa. If you go through Galim in the Bamboutos to one village called Bafanji, you are already in the northwest and many more. Galin is where your brother achidi achu bought cattle with the money biya gave him to destroy the sdf. I heard some of you talked of insecurity in Bamenda, have you forgotten that you are responsible for such situation

Rexon,
traders leave Bamenda every day for Ikok and in to Nigeria. They go through Bali-Batibo-Widikum-Kendem and Mamfe! The only stretch of the road that is treacherous, especially during the rainy season is between Batibo and Widikum!
Facts Rexon, not politically motivated emotional outbursts. Santa is not the only gateway into the NW Province, is the point I am making.
Blessed be Cameroon.

Danny Boy,
That was before. That road is impassable now in almost 9 months of the year. People from Batibo now are more confortable going through Foumban to Mamfe and continue from there to Nigeria. I dont know about those from Widikum but i am very familiar with the route you are talking about. It has been completely shattered by the colonialists. Check your facts again.
Many thanks.

Rexon,
a few months ago, a Batibo boy, popularly known as "Okoro" was gunned down in broad daylight in Bali. He was transporting traders from Ikok to Bamenda. This was his business for the past twenty years. Many who have studied in Nigeria know this late Man. He plied this route at least once weekly, come rain or sunshine!
As for facts, I wonder whether there are two Foumbans in Cameroon. Get a map of Cameroon and look at it carefully and tell me what I will be doing in Foumban, if I even wanted to get to Mamfe from Bamenda!!
Facts Rexon, please!
Many thanks.
