SDF 26th Anniversary: John Fru Ndi mobilises faithful

The 26th anniversary was celebrated in pomp and fanfare on May 26, 2016.

“Remain steadfast and demonstrate a high sense of discipline, shun forces of destabilization, remain vigilant in order to curb machinations and infiltration orchestrated by detractors and adversaries”. That sums up the message of the SDF National Chairman, Ni John Fru Ndi to party militants during the 26th anniversary of the opposition party on May, 26, 2016.

In effect, Ni John Fru Ndi criss-crossed Batibo, Bali, Bafut, Bamenda I , II and III Sub divisions encouraging faithful for standing solidly by the party in its quest for justice and democracy. He told rallies that the party is celebrating strengths in a 26- year history of storms in the face of a regime that has failed to be transparent in matters of democracy and governance.

Chairman, Fru Ndi expressed concerns about what he describes as poverty rocking a majority of Cameroonians, short supply of energy, break down of the health sector, poor road network and unemployment for the nation’s youths.

The 2018 election year featured prominently in the anniversary message with the chairman revisiting the party’s the request for a genuine independent electoral commission, consensual electoral code, complete biometrics, an electoral calendar, two round presidential election system, limitation of the presidential term to five years etc.

It was against this backdrop that Fru Ndi challenged militants to be vigilant and prepare towards any eventuality. He set July 2016 to complete the reorganization of party structures across the nation to chart the way for Regional conferences and subsequently, the SDF National Convention that has been scheduled for February, 2017.
