CPDM Fako 1C took the party’s 40th anniversary celebration to its militants in the rural setting of Mabeta ‘Njanga’, for the first time. A highlight of the celebration was the announcement that Mabeta will soon be electrified with solar lamps. This initiative promises to brighten every corner of the community, enhancing safety and quality of life. Mabeta, with a population of about seven thousand inhabitants, has won all elections in favour of the CPDM party. Under the CPDM ruling government, Mabeta has already seen remarkable improvements, including one of the best-equipped health centers in Limbe. Plans are underway for a new road connecting Tiko through Mabeta to Bimbia, further facilitating access and development. Mabeta is also proud to host a government secondary school, a vital resource for local youth.
However, challenges remain. The mabeta community faces pressing issues such as inadequate toilets, limited market stores, insufficient security posts, and access to clean drinking water. These concerns were voiced during the celebration, as residents seek solutions to improve their living conditions.
CPDM Fako 1C Section President, Nseke Dibotti Luma reassured the inhabitants of Mabeta about government’s plan to improve their living conditions and on the part of the council, Mabeta will be a place to be in the nearest future. He urged inhabitants to be vigilant about their land ownership. He cautioned against selling valuable land that could contribute to future growth and sustainability in Mabeta, often referred to as the breadbasket of Limbe III Subdivision. Looking ahead, Mayor Nseke reaffirmed his commitment to delivering 100% votes for President Paul Biya in the upcoming presidential election. “We are putting new wine into an old calabash,” he stated passionately, emphasising efforts to rejuvenate support for the CPDM party in Fako 1C. The section president expressed confidence in their electoral readiness. He highlighted successful voter registration efforts within the community and stressed its importance: “If you don’t register, you cannot express yourself on election day.” This call-to-action resonated with attendees as they recognised their role in shaping their political future.
The CPDM Fako 1C Section is poised for growth with plans for two new subsections aimed at advancing voter registration initiatives. The celebration attracted notable figures like the Divisional Officer of Limbe III and her delegation.
Mayor Nseke Dibotti Luma declared during the occasion that, “Life begins at 40.” This sentiment encapsulates a renewed spirit within the CPDM as it looks toward expanding its influence throughout Limbe III’s suburbs. This anniversary not only marks four decades of achievements but also signals a fresh start, a time for unity and action within Mabeta and beyond. With enthusiasm running high and plans set in motion, CPDM Fako 1C Section stands ready to embrace its future under the party’s leadership.
Strengthening unity and growth: Highlights from the CPDM Fako 1C Joint Sectorial Conference
In a vibrant gathering at Bimbia, last March 23, Barrister Mayor Nseke Luma, President of the CPDM Fako 1C Section, expressed his complete satisfaction with the outcome of the recent Joint Sectorial Conference. It was a powerful platform aimed at fostering peace, unity, and growth within the party. As days pass, the militancy within the section continues to thrive, he said. To further enhance this momentum, two new subsections have been proposed to the CPDM Central Committee. This strategic move reflects the commitment to strengthen grassroot engagement and mobilisation. During the conference, an important milestone was achieved: new CPDM militants received their party cards. This moment signifies their official welcome into a community dedicated to progress and development. It is crucial for these new members to understand their role in shaping the future of the party, Mayor Nseke echoed.
During the Conference, discussions were held regarding preparations for the upcoming Presidential election scheduled for October 2025. The Conference also provided a platform for open dialogue about adherence to party rules and regulations. Members were encouraged to remain steadfast in their commitment to these principles.
