Position-seeking CPDM militants must show adherence card, vignette

With elections into the various bureaus in the CPDM party just lurking around the corner, the leader of the Central Committee Delegation for Donga Mantung Division, Minister Fuh Calistus Gentry has called on CPDM militants to wake up and that nobody should be surprised.

He sounded a clarion call that anybody in the party and those persons in the present executive and now are eyeing any elective position in the various organs of the party, should endeavour to procure the adherence card and the vignette.

According to Fuh Calistus, the adherence card and vignette are the prime documentation for qualification of any candidate and that viable militants can support their peers to procure the said card sold at FCFA 500 and the Vignette sells at FCFA 1000 which is paid for from 2012.

While Ndu, Fuh Calistus and Yaa Achidi Achu Judith together with the branch and Sub-Section Presidents did map out strategies on how to sell these cards within this week. Ideas were brought up such as any CPDM njangi should ensure that members have adherence cards by removing members’ funds to pay these cards in advance.

The Central Committee Delegation head pointed out that it is time to boost militancy and sort out true militants of the party and that elite can come in to facilitate the process of selling off the thousands of cards within this period. This can be done in the sense that a viable militant can just take up the challenge and pay for 200 cards to distribute in his quarter to militants.

These cards he said must by signed a branch President for validity purpose. Though a good number of cards have been sold, Alhadji in Ntumbaw thinks that many more can be sold if proper sensitization is carried out for people to know what an adherence card is all about.

This day Ntumbaw branch President had proceeds of FCFA 25000 for sale of cards follow by another branch President with FCFA 18000 paid with the commission’s Treasurer Mrs. Noami Nfor ably coordinated by Alhadji Abdou Bornu . Fuh Calistus applauded them and call on others to emulate for only those branch Presidents that perform high in the sell of party cards that would guarantee their retaining the seat of branch presidents.

This was in a bid to liquidate the thousands of membership cards and vignettes which is in a way tallying membership of the Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement CPDM party, Central Committee dispatched at the week end of January 10, some top CPDM elite were assigned to get to the field and evaluate the sales of these cards.

Among the top notches delegated to the North West and in to the Seven Divisions was After the grand evaluation at the level of the Region in Bamenda, he led team to his own Division Donga Mantung and had a stop over at Ndu where over 300 hundred cards are allegedly missing following a report by the card distribution committee.

While in Nkambe another case came up from Ako where party cards are yet to be sold. The Section President had these cards held back saying the financial resources for this exercise was in the hands of others who are yet to tell him. The central committee delegate called the parties together and sort lasting solution on the promise that cards would be sold out to militants as early as possible before party election catches up with them.
