Prof Ngole Ngole Elvis is head of
the CPDM Central Committee delegation to the United States of America. With
elections in the offing in the Diasporas, expectations are high at that a more
efficient leadership is put in place reasons why savory reports on public
opinion polls is gaining ground. Ahead of this reorganization process,
popular opinion in the United States of America puts Yaah Patience Tamfu ahead of the three other contenders. She is the
lone female candidate for the post of Section President. This is so because she
fulfills all the conditions prescribed by President Biya, President of the
party. Above all, she masters the party text very well, majority say.
Popular opinion at home and the
Diasporas holds that CPDM militants in the USA must choose a candidate with
character and conscience. Commentators have opined that Yaah Patience Tamfu is
sure bet for the position of Section given that she is a political heavyweight.
However, looking at her political career in such a twofold approach is certain
that she is the best when weighed up the evidences of her commitment to the
CPDM party. With this in mind, and with the results of the last Presidential
election that she worked relentlessly for the CPDM, prospects are high at that
she would surely work for the growth of the party, a school of thought holds.

Considering that Yaah Patience Tamfu
was elected as pioneer WCPDM Section
President in the USA IN 2007, she is therefore an asset given that one of the
prerequisites requires candidates for the position of Section President to have
ample knowledge about the basic texts of the party and must have served the
party in any specialized organ. One
major question lingering on all the lips is whether the other contenders have
had such experience or just-having a jump-start in politics.
Who
is Patience Tamfu?
If there is any area in Cameroon where
the Beijing platform can be assessed, it is in the domain of politics and
economic sphere which was formerly a no go zone for the woman. Yaah Patience
Tamfu is one of the few female politicians who has shown that women in
leadership could mean a lot to Cameroon. Ever since this daughter of the great
statesman, late Hon. SN Tamfu became the sparkling flicker, the ever first
woman to strengthen the CPDM party in the United State of America, she has
become a symbol that women in leadership position is worth celebrating.
Hitherto considered a no go zone for women, Yaah Patience Tamfu has not only
dismantled the male barriers constructed around politics but has more
importantly serve as a woman emancipator. And that she is candidate for the
position of Section President in the USA is a fact. And that she campaigned tirelessly for
President Biya to win in Diasporas during the last Presidential elections is an
undeniable fact. It is thanks to her that the CPDM is striving in the United
States of America.
Since her election into the national
Bureau of the WCPDM, (Central Committee), Patience Tamfu helped a great deal in
transmitting President Biya’s policy in the Diasporas. Even though she lives in
the USA, she remains approachable. She talks and acts with dogged friendliness
reasons why she is loved and appreciated by all.
Yet, it is these qualities which
incalculably complement her multifarious roles in Uncle Sam’s America, Donga
Mantung Division, North West and Cameroon as a whole. Her savoir-faire in
politics and the way she interacts with others has earned several recognitions.
It was not by error that she was voted as "Woman of Year" in 2012 by
readers of The Eye newspaper and few months ago she was honoured with The
Lifetime Achievement Award for her leadership role in fostering development amongst
Wimbum community (at home and abroad) and Cameroonians in the USA. Besides, she
was honoured with the most prestigious traditional title of Mbum land, Yaah. In
the US where she lives, she was also recognized by her employer as well as the
various communities due to her leadership skills.
This is so because she is a bulk of
talent, intelligent and a woman who lives in every other person’s problem. Hard
work and efficiency have continued to be the qualities that define her.
Whenever you meet her for the first time, you are taken by her mastery of
issues. Take it as arrogance and you are right for this is positive
arrogance that enables that job for which she does is done correctly. It is
this positive arrogance she reads widely and interacts with all the set of
people in society.
Notwithstanding, she has the drive and
dedication that defies any facile explanations. Born into the family of late
Hon. SN Tamfu, she was brought up in close knit family in the fear of the God.
In later life she could not escape to be a workaholic or become a politician
par excellence reasons why her position in society as a role model continue to
inspire many young girls and build society. Team Patience Tamfu for Section
President.
