Fru Ndi Receiving award |
It should be recalled that
while in the United
States, African Focus Director Uchenna Nworgu explained that he grew up
watching the chairman fight for democracy and multiparty politics in Cameroon. He
described SDF National chairman as lifetime achiever for his contribution in Cameroon's
politics and democracy.
Narrating the event in the USA, Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi told
the Bamenda population that he was just a messenger and that the award belongs
to those who supported him/ and continue to support him in the struggle. He
also told the population that he dedicated the award to Nelosn Mandela, Martin
Luther, Good luck Jonathan, Abdul Diouf of Senegal and Buhari of Nigeria. Ni
John Fru Ndi also added that he dedicates the award to the six young men who
died at SDF launching some 25 years ago, the Takumbengs mothers and his own late
mother and the entire SDF family.
Talking to journalists, Benjamin Fru Ndi who was part of the delegation
to the United States of America said that the award from Africa Focus was a
great achievement. Harping on the significance to the youth of today, Ben said
that it should be a motivating factor to youths all over Africa that we can
achieve what we want without bloodshed. “Justice and peace should be what we should
be fighting for in this continent”, Benjamin Fru Ndi concluded.
Other speakers at the Ntarinkon reception included amongst
others, the SDF Parliamentary Group leader Hon. Banadzem Joseph, Hon Njong, SDF
NW Regional Chairman. To devoted militants like
Mayor Balick Awah Fidelis, the award is timely and worthwhile especially as it is coming at the heels of SDF Silver Jubilee
