The death of Françoise Foning divides SDF

The hierarchy of the SDF party condemned the Municipal Councillor Elimbi Lobé for passing a comment deemed insulting to the deceased Mayor of Douala 5th, Françoise Foning.

The death of mayor Foning has aroused disagreements within the Social Democratic Front (SDF). As a result, the hierarchy of the main party of the Cameroonian opposition have come out to accuse the National Deputy Secretary of Communication and Municipal Councillor of Douala 5th, Elimbi Lobé. He condemned his remarks concerning the deceased Mayor of Douala 5th.

Contacted by several media to react to the death of the activist of the CPDM, Elimbi Lobé criticized the balance between the duty and political action of the deceased.

He is said to have noted that he does not know why his fellow party members give her credits. On Tuesday night on STV television, he accused her of not establishing a municipal school in her district. "I remember we had a mayor who has been here for 12 years, but left us with nothing to inherit, we just lost someone who was not in her place" he accused.

The Minister of Communication of the SDF 'shadow cabinet', Jean Robert Wafo thus mounted the platform this January 29, 2015 to remind party faithfuls that the SDF is a humanist party" and "as such, it aims to respect not only humans, but also the dead", he said this on the microphone of Cameroon - info.NET.

Filipe stressed that Africans respect even the dead. He added, "there is no justification that a human being can insult a corpse. Particularly when they are not yet buried. For this reason, the words of Hazem Lobe is considered irresponsible.

Jean Robert Wafo finally denounced a "seedy contest of inelegance, cowardice and heinous media bashing people based on sheer hatred.

Reports from the national president of SDF, John Fru Ndi on the subject announced Thursday evening indicated that he also condemns the attitude of Hazem Lobe.
