| Chifu Tando George |
Chifu Tando George has
been elected as the 2nd Deputy Mayor of Ndu Council in Donga Mantung
Division of the North West Region. He elected on August 22, during the
extraordinary session which was presided by the Senior Divisional Officer for
Donga Mantung, Ngone Ndodemesape Bernard. He crushed two others contenders to
grasp the position of 2nd deputy mayor. Chifu Tando George, who is
in his early 30s, is entering into records as the youngest in the North West to
occupy the position of deputy mayor. He replaces Ma Margaret Ngwa Yaje who died last may 23, 2015
after she struggled with illness for over a year.
Emotions were high during the extraordinary session when
some councilors decided to challenge the decision of the SDF Investiture. According
to what we gathered, Ngahba Eric, District chairman was endorsed by the Investiture
yet he dropped out of the race after being nominated. Talking to journalists
after the exercise, SDF District chairman was categorical that he declined from
contesting the elections to respect the decision of the SDF party hierarchy. On
his part the mayor of Ndu council Bunyui Emmanuel discarded rumours that there
was rigmarole before elections. He said one of the contenders stepped down
without any duress. He said that he would have preferred that the gender component
is respected but the councilors he noted preferred to respect geopolitical
landscape of the municipality. “In Cameroon politics, it is not given, you work
for it”, he emphasized. He added that the former deputy mayor was from the
centre of Ndu town, reasons why young Chifu Tando George was elected. It should
be recalled that he (George) has been the Manager of Mutual Health for over
five years and expectations are high at that he makes a significant
contribution to the development of Ndu.
