There was enthusiasm at the Nkwen palace esplanade on September 19, 2014 when HRH Fon Azefor III reaffirmed his commitment as a militant of the CPDM.
The ceremony which from the onset was a mere courtesy visit to the palace suddenly transformed into a political rally when Martin Ngante Ngoh took to the rostrum to lead a CPDM delegation to hand gifts to the Fon. Not only was Senator Fon Teche zeroed into the scene, the gift themselves were symbiotic of the unexpected.
In a flamboyant manner, Martin Ngante said that the day marked the turning of a new page for the people of Nkwen who have spotted the dot of light. He said that the CPDM in Nkwen has moved geometrically from the 1000 votes to 5000 votes during the last elections.
Described by impressionists as the foreman of the CPDM in Nkwen, Martin Ngante also used the opportunity to usher Nkwen people into a new horizon with hopes. “We did not win the election but we are working hard” Ngante told journalists.
Harping on the future of the CPDM in Mezam said that Nkwen is happy to have a fon that knows that the CPDM is the light and the truth. “I think challenges, the fon has many subjects, it is Nkwen that is standing strong behind the Head of State”. He said he felt fulfilled when he was called up for others to line behind him.
Before dressing Fon Azefor, Senator Fon Teche called on the people of Nkwen to support their rulers so much so that he could foster development process. He said that by choosing the CPDM, Fon Azefor made the right choice.
Nkwen Wants First Class, Position of Government Delegate Too Speaker after speaker sounded optimistic but casted doubts whether late John Ngu Foncha died with the future. In fact, the keynote message was that this is time for Nkwen to produce a government delegate and or government minister and why not Foncha’s successor.
It should be recalled that before his enthronement, Fon Azefor III was formerly a militant of the CPDM IN Douala.The most interesting is that the Fon of Nkwen made it clear that the people of Nkwen will have to choice where to meditate meaning that he will not impose on them.
More importantly, he is relying on the strength and mobilization spirit of people like Martin Ngante Ngoh to sermonize the people to understand the importance of supporting the ruling party.
