Fru Ndi tries to distance self from Paul Biya

Cameroon's former opposition leader, John Fru Ndi, who has grown very
close to the autocratic Paul Biya has tried to explain to a very
suspicious Cameroonian public that he has no secret arrangements with
Paul Biya.

Over the space of three months beginning late 2010, Fru Ndi and Paul
Biya met thrice in three different Regions and on three separate
occasions. This brought to light a deep held belief that there was a
more stronger bond, maybe financial between the two men. Fru Ndi
immediately became a black sheep, and was seen as irrelevant as the
discussions in Cameroonian online forums heated up with imminent
presidential elections.

After Fru Ndi's last visit, he embarked on the 18th of February 2011
on a nationwide campaign, not against incumbent, Paul Biya, but
strangely, ELECAM, the national electoral observatory.

Many wonder why someone who calls himself an opposition party leader
would have nothing to criticize against the incumbent Paul Biya's
policies for 29 years.

Another suspicious item was the funding for Fru Ndi's trip. It is not
yet time for the presidential election, but Fru Ndi could afford to
tour the country. Many wonder who is paying for the trip.

Finally, former First Vice President of the SDF Pierre Kwemo, a major
power house in the West Region of Cameroon has been completely
demonized by Fru Ndi, with suggestions that Kwemo joined the SDF for
pecuniary gain.

All these petty activity taking place at the top level of the SDF has
completely reversed the gains made in recent months by the party.

New progressive faces like Joshua Ossih have been silenced, while the
party shifted into reverse gear.

What most Cameroonians understand and see for themselves is that there
is a clear Paul Biya - Fru Ndi Alliance and there is occult financial
dealings between the two. This is what will ultimately sound the death
knell for the SDF.

Paul Biya and Fru Ndi display the same heavy handedness of other
autocratic demented despots like Hosni Mubarak or Col Muammar Qaddafi.

Time for change has come. "Time Is Now"
