Former SDF militant backtracks from creating mirror party
Former SDF militant and a vanquish contender of the party’s chairmanship position, Shewa David Jestel has backtracked from creating a replica of the party, the Social Democratic Face Front.
News of the creation of this party was circulated online where the Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji signed a release giving update about the party’s legalisation.
Some Cameroonians were quick to say that the Minister is using David to devide the opposition.
But Shewa David dismissed allegations that he is being manipulated by the Minister of Territorial Administration, Atanga Nji Paul to create a new rival party to the SDF.
In a press briefing in Yaounde on May 3, 2024, Shewa Jestel said he has never met with Minister Atanga Nji Paul in any occasion.
“Since I was born, I have never met with Minister Atanga Nji Paul face to face, not to talk of conniving with him to ruin the SDF party of late Ni John Fru Ndi”. Shewa disclosed.
Responding to accusations why he wanted to create confusion with his initial founded party, the Social Democratic Face Front (SDFF), the former SDF militant said it was not his intention and goal but upholding the principles of the Ni John Fru Ndi’s founded party now deviated by current leaders. But for peace to reign, he decided to change the name of his created party the SDFF.
” For the sake of peace, love and unity, we and the general assembly unanimously decided to modify or change the name of the SDFF to Democratic Liberation Party (DLP). Shewa David said.
He lambasted politicians, from the SDF and CPDM parties for allegedly working tirelessly to see authorisation of his party denied.
“These dubious sheep politicians and power mongers , I want to tell you , the God I serve is a living God. Your up and down movements shall be in vain. ” Shewa David Jestel promised.
His party, the Democratic Liberation Party still pending authorisation from the Minister of Territorial Administration, according to him aims at bringing change, growth and stability and the well-being of all.
