High Moments of Land Mark Event
Day one of President Paul Biya’s outing during the 50th anniversary of the Armed Forces in Bamenda on December 8, 2010 was great and eventful. It was all about a new chapter that opens for the North West Region.
In effect, the clocks stroke 1.28 p.m when from the Bamenda Commercial Avenue grandstand, President Biya announced the creation of a University in Bamenda, intentions to construct a dam on Menchum Falls, negotiations with big companies to complete the Ring road, studies towards the construction of a Referral hospital in Bamenda etc. It was all about a President who listens to the concerns of his compatriots.
Face to face with the population of the North West , President Biya was back to his second home and took time off to remind doubting Thomases about his bilingualism with a great part of his address in the Queen’s language. The awe- inspiring crowd that lined the streets to herald their President was most welcome. It was a day for the North West as President Biya communed with the nation from Bamenda. The memorable and historic day began with the arrival of the Head of State and 1st Lady, Chantal Biya at the Heliport in the neighbourhood of Up Station at 10.53 a.m. Little Sirri Trifosia Che and Fogwe Fomonyam respectively of Providence Bilingual Primary and Nursery school and PNEU counted their blessings with the privilege to offer bouquets of flowers to the Presidential Couple.
It was also about President Paul Biya, Fon of Fons back in the Land of Fons . On hand at the heliport with royal greeting were seven privileged Fons of the North West ( Mankon, Bafut, Bali Nyongha, Nso, Kom and Bangolan). President Paul Biya had just arrived a Region at peace with itself with sons and daughters mobilized to make his stay hitch-free. Among the few privileged to welcome the President on arrival were four CPDM and SDF MPs (Hon. Joseph Mbah Ndam, Joseph Banadzem, Nji Fidelis and Awudu Mbaya). Back at the ceremonial ground, the 1st Lady and UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, Madam Chantal Biya stole the show on her arrival. A standing ovation took her to the grandstand with song and dance from the crowd in honour of the one who distinguishes as a veritable mother and a blessing for the underprivileged. Curtains dropped on day one of the visit with President Biya on virtually all lips for landmark messages in Bamenda.
