SDF Mayor says the party has remained committed to democracy
The Deputy Mayor of the Ndu Council in Donga-Mantung division, has said, Cameroon’s leading opposition party, the Social Democratic Front Party, SDF has not drifted from the policies which accompanied its birth in 1990.
Martin Fon Yembe said despite the reduction in number of seats in parliament and Councils, the SDF has remained unbeaten as the main opposition and is still waxing strong and kicking.
He was reacting to questions from Equinoxe Radio based in Douala as the interlocutor quizzed to know what he thinks about the fact that the SDF party today has become a shadow of itself. Martin Fon Yembe said if it is a shadow today it means the party exists and will continue to pride itself as the number one opposition.
Asked what he thought of the fact that the party is preaching change in the management of state affairs but within itself leadership has not changed since 1990.
The Ndu deputy Mayor said Ni John FRU NDI who is the party’s National Chairman is the right man to run the party no matter his longevity. He said being at the helm of a party for decades is different from being at the head of a state, concluding that State should not be compared with political parties.
Militants of the SDF party did not celebrate like in previous editions the so-called National Day celebrated every May 20th– a decision that was taken by the National Chairman NI John Fru Ndi.
