Mayor of Tombel, Rose NgassaThe people of Kupe Muanenguba Division in the South West Region have urged President Paul Biya to stand as the CPDM candidate in the 2018 Presidential election. The appeal is contained in a motion of support addressed to the President of the Republic and National Chairman of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) during a thanksgiving ceremony organised by sons and daughters of the Division in honour of Elung Paul Che, appointed Minister Delegate to the Minister of Finance during the October 2, 2015 cabinet reshuffle.

The Tombel municipal stadium where the event took place appeared small for the mammoth crowd that thronged the venue including over ten Members of Government, Members of Parliament and the representative of the Secretary General of CPDM Central Committee, Dr. Joseph Dion Ngute, to join the people of Kupe Muanenguba in thanking God for using President Paul Biya to appoint yet another son of the division into the government.

Be it through the CPDM Kupe Muanenguba III Section President, Samuel Samme Mesape, the Mayor of Tombel, Rose Ngassa, the President of the Kupe Muanenguba Divisional Chiefs Conference, HRH Etame Albert Ekane and the Steering Committee Chair, Johnson Okie, the gratitude of the people of Kupe Muanenguba to the Head of State was echoed repeatedly and the pledge to reciprocate the steadfast love of the Head of State to Kupe Muanenguba by renewing their unflinching support and loyalty to the CPDM and the National Chairman.

While advocating the need for unity among the sons and daughters of the Kupe Muanenguba Division, various speakers at the event spiced by cultural displays did not hesitate to evoke the major problem confronting the Division; the deplorable state of roads, which retards socio-economic development of the area endowed with enormous agricultural potentials.
On his part, the Minister Delegate to the Minister of Finance, Elung Paul Che, condemned backstabbing, bickering, hatred; egoism among the elite stating that they need to put together their resources in order to drive meaningful development in the Division which he said will never cease to thank the Head of State for his love and concern.  While calling for steadfast support to the President of the Republic and State institutions, the Minister Delegate pointed out the need for greater vigilance especially among youths as the country wages war against the terrorist sect, Boko Haram.
