The Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) 14 Sub-Section “C” of Mfoundi II, situated in the Mokolo Market area, has pledged to deliver 100 percent of its votes to presidential candidate Paul Biya in the upcoming election.
The commitment was taken during a rally held on Oct. 8 in Yaounde. The event was chaired by Hon. Paul Eric, President of the CPDM Yaounde Zone 2, and was accompanied by S.M Bienvenu Lonkeu Njouboussi, President of the Mokolo Centre CPDM section, among other party officials.
Addressing the militants, who had gathered to strategize for Biya’s victory, Hon. Eric praised the enthusiasm of the CPDM members. Drawing inspiration from the speech of President Biya made in Maroua on Oct. 7, Hon. Eric asserted that the president demonstrated a deep understanding of the nation’s and its people’s problems.
“We can be happy because he has promised that he will never tire himself to solve the problems of the Cameroonians,” Hon. Eric stated. “And for that, we must applaud the president. This is just a reminder that there is only one sentence: We vote for him, we vote for him, we vote for him.”
Hon. Eric also commended the section president for his work and urged all militants to remain steadfast as the election day approaches.
S.M. Lonkeu Njouboussi, speaking to the militants and well-wishers, stressed that the primary objective of the gathering was to unite and ensure that on Oct. 12, the militants of CPDM Mokolo Centre secure a victory for their “champion,” Paul Biya.
While acknowledging that much work had already been accomplished, Njouboussi stressed the remaining task was to ensure the victory is realized. He highlighted the section’s policy of inclusiveness, stating, “Here at Mokolo Centre, we work as a family. No one is isolated, no one is marginalized.” He specifically called on militants to make sure that everyone vote by 10 a.m. on Oct. 12 to achieve the promised 100 percent turnout for President Biya.
Following the rally, CPDM militants praised President Biya, referring to him as the “wise man” who has led Cameroon “wisely and intelligently,” and expressed their belief in his vision to make Cameroon an emerging nation by 2035.
“For all that our president has done for us, the best we can appreciate him is to give him the confidence because he is the best driver,” a militant commented.
