The campaign trail in Bamenda I Subdivision took on renewed energy this week as Senator Nebah Bridget Ndosiri Ndoye, the lone female senator from Mezam Division, crisscrossed neighbourhoods to rally grassroots support for President Paul Biya’s re-election.
In a series of proximity meetings held from quarter squares to community halls, Senator Nebah delivered a clear message: “Vote for President Paul Biya on October 12, the man who has brought peace, progress, and opportunity to Bamenda I.”
Highlighting Visible Achievements
Addressing a crowd of enthusiastic supporters in the Alahting neighbourhood, the senator recounted the transformation of Bamenda I under the stewardship of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) over the past twelve years.
“The achievements of the CPDM in Bamenda I, are overwhelming,” Senator Nebah declared. “Our quarters are now linked by good roads, pipe-borne water, electricity extension, and a return of peace. These are the fruits of stability and President Biya’s commitment to development.”
She pointed to key projects such as the new liquefied gas plant at Mbangshie, the Bamenda I Municipal Stadium at Atougoulah, and the dual carriageway linking Akumbele to Ecole des Champions, describing them as “tangible reasons why the people of Bamendakwe must vote overwhelmingly for the Head of State.”
Championing Women and Youth Empowerment
A former Technical Adviser at the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and the Family, Senator Nebah reminded residents of her role in securing the Women’s Empowerment Centre located opposite the new stadium in Atualah.
“President Paul Biya believes in the power of women and youth,” she told the crowd. “That is why he allowed me to serve, and why I ensured that Bamendakwe got its own centre where our mothers and children can learn trades and become self-reliant.”
The centre, she explained, is equipped to train both young men and women in various skills at affordable costs, a testament to the government’s drive to empower families and reduce unemployment.
Education, Peace, and Scholarships
Senator Nebah also used the platform to encourage parents to send their children to school, reaffirming her personal commitment to education.
“I am a Senator today because I went to school,” she said. “Every year since I got into the Senate, I have offered scholarships and learning materials to outstanding students. This year, ten more children will benefit.”
She described education as the foundation of peace and development, noting that Bamenda I’s calm atmosphere has attracted new residents and investment.
“Peace brings development,” she stressed. “It is because Bamendakwe is peaceful that people now seek land here to build homes. We must guard this peace jealously and reject violence.”
Politics as Partnership
Echoing the famous words of late statesman Simon Achidi Achu, Senator Nebah likened politics to njangi (a communal contribution), where support is reciprocated.
“President Paul Biya has scratched our backs; now it’s our turn to scratch his,” she said, to loud applause. “He appointed me as Senator so I could serve you. Let’s pay him back with our votes.”
Her remarks were echoed by Tamanjong Pius, CPDM Zone 2 coordinator, who urged voters to cast their ballots for the white paper, the CPDM symbol and reaffirmed that decentralization and local development remain central to President Biya’s next mandate.
A Community United Behind One Vision
The Mayor of Bamenda I, his deputies, and several local party officials joined the Senator’s campaign, encouraging residents to collect their voter cards and turn out early on polling day. The team concluded with door-to-door visits, ensuring the CPDM’s message of peace and continuity reached every household.
