Cameroon Journal, Yaounde - An authoritative source, who pleaded not to be named, has hinted The Cameroon Journal that negotiations with the national chairman of the Social Democratic Front, SDF, party are well on course for his First Vice, Joshua Osih, to be endorsed as the main opposition party’s candidate for the forthcoming presidential election.
Our source who’s adequately informed about the negotiations for Fru Ndi to endorse Osih, told us that the lobby is being done by a caucus within the party made up of some members who address themselves as “the group of wise men.”
The caucus, we are told, just rounded off a nationwide tour of the SDF basic structures to test the popularity of their national chairman and have come to the conclusion that Fru Ndi remains popular within the party ranks but that majority opinion suggests that he (Fru Ndi) should rather hold Osih’s hand and present him as the man to stand for the next presidential polls on the party’s ticket.
Our source further stated that going by the caucus’ findings, Fru Ndi remains the best man to hold the SDF strong but that it will be “disastrous” for him to be invested as the party flag bearer in 2018 given his advanced age of 75 and the dislike the French have for him. Fru Ndi celebrated his 75th birthday last July 7, 2016.
“The caucus found out that Fru Ndi’s popularity as national chairman of the SDF remains intact but where his popularity is dwindles is when he’s suggested as presidential material in the next election,” said our informant by telephone.
