| Madame Winifred Samba being installed by SDO |
As speculated, Madame Samba Winifred
Murkwi is the 1st Deputy Mayor of the Nkambe council in the Donga
Mantung Division of the Northwest Region. After being endorsed by local party
officials, her ambition to enter late Shey Emmanuel’s shoes was validated today
December 18, 2015 by 28 councilors. She was voted during an extraordinary session
that brought together councilors of the Nkambe council.
Madame Samba stood unchallenged given
that the candidature of John Nforgwei could not be validated due to the
intrigues orchestrated by the so-called party hierarchy. Though John Nforgwei
was nominated by the fon of Wat, HRH Fon Ngorake Valentine sources say no one
seconded the nomination yet 8 councilors reportedly voted against the candidature
of Madame Samba while two others casted empty ballots. Indications are rife at
that if the process wasn’t flawed, John Nforgwei would have emerged given his
capability. But since politics is all about interest and majority of the
councilors thought Tabenken should be compensated, they also thought is wise to
voted for Madame Samba Murkwi who hails from Tabenken and had the blessing of
local party hierarchy. More so, Madame Samba Winifred is the mother in-law to
Donga Mantung II Section President, Abdou Borno. She is therefore the second
female deputy mayor in the five man team led by Ngabir Paul Bantar, the Mayor of
Nkambe council.
Nominated by Musa Shey Nfor and seconded
by Emmanuel Sayani, Madame Samba’s nomination by implication already casted
doubts whether Mbu warr councilors had formed a common front.
