“From seven (07) elected senators to only one (01) appointed”, the SDF is now an empty shell

President Paul Biya appointed Friday, by decree, the 30 senators missing from the composition of the upper house of Parliament.

The other 70 senators were elected in the polls on March 12. Of the thirty senators appointed by Paul Biya, 11 are entering the institution.

Six senators from the “opposition”, including 1 from the SDF, were also appointed to accompany the 24 senators of the presidential party, the CPDM.

The party in power having won the 70 seats during the senatorial elections of March 12, alone accounts for 94 senators out of 100 in the upper house of Parliament.

For the Honorable Jean Michel Nitcheu, the SDF enters “shamefully into the presidential majority through the window”.

Same story for his G27+ comrade, Jean Robert Wafo, both expelled from the SDF by Ni John Fru Ndi.

Jean Robert Waffo maintains that the SDF has gone in less than two years, from the stage of auxiliary to that of “stepping stone” of the Yaoundé regime.

“You must have definitely put the dogs to shame to orchestrate or validate such political villainy. From seven (07) ELECTED senators to only one (01) APPOINTED by the magnanimity of the President of the Republic. All this shameless aplaventrism of the new recruit of the presidential majority for so little? The bottom of the bottom”, regrets the former Minister of Communication in the Shadow Cabinet of the SDF.

“Anyone with a reason now understands the real reasons for the arbitrary and anti-statutory sanctions taken against the members who came together to form the G27+. It was necessary to empty the NEC of its substrate and then remain with an empty shell which will ratify all the commands of the governing system,” added JR Waffo.

Before concluding: “The political history of our country will remember. In particular the History of the SDF. It will be taught to future generations. The names of the main collaborators will be published in the books, so that no one is unaware of them”.

It was in 1996, thanks to the constitutional revision of January 18, that the Cameroonian Senate was created. But it was finally in 2013 that the first Senate was created in Cameroon.
