Comfort Musa
ousted Richard Ndeh and Tim Finnian by 24 to 16 and 3 votes, while Yembe and
Elvis Dogo Dogo were voted by acclamation. The mafia would have been complete
if Jato Richard was elected as Public Relations Officer (PRO). He was edged by
Roseline Obah by 17 to 18 votes. Priscillia Agendia of CRTV whitewashed Anyi
Collins of Canal 2 to become
Treasury; just as Clementine Ambi of Abakwa
FM who crushed Eric Akam of Bali Drum
for the Financial Secretary portfolio. Emmanuel Fokum of The Enquirer dismissed
Emmanuel Nji of Eden to become the Organizing Secretary.
The elections
held last Friday August 10, 2012 at CHRAPA, was moderated by Barrister Henry
Kemende, a Legal Adviser and Choves Loh, National Vice President of CAMASEJ. It
was witnessed by communication bigwigs including Gideon Taka of Hot Cocoa,
Chris Mbunwe of The Post, Colday
Ndofekeh Olivier of ELECAM.
Comfort Musa’s
election placed an end to the mandate of Vitalis Tanteh, which critics styled
as insipid. Suspicion that Musa’s mandate may replicate that of Tanteh, given
that they operate under same media outfit was gnawed.
Critics
pinpoint the fact that her victory was spin-doctored by a clique of her radio
SCMS and Wimbum folks. Some observers hinted Chronicle that Richard Ndeh or Tim Finnian would have made up the
better option, given that they run media organs based in Bamenda.
Musa however
has the onus to convince the nearly 20 members who did not vote her that she
can effectively deliver, though her campaign promises were merely as lousy as
those of Tanteh, 2 years ago.
Where is the mafia in this article? I do not seem to see any fore-plan by natives of Donga mantung prior to the elections. I think your article is poorly titled. If you say "Comfort Musa ousted Richard Ndeh and Tim Finnian by 24 to 16", it means she rightfully won her post as President; "Yembe and Elvis Dogo Dogo were voted by acclamation" means that the convention actually appreciated their work. Please, can we stop using sensational story titles??? Just a piece of advice.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very stupid article and just the kind of trash that should not be allowed to visit the news-stands or catch the eyes of consumers. I weep each time I come across such sensational captions with no real story. This is not journalism and you must go back to the drawing board. No wonder we hear journalists are in trouble with the police or military because of such things. Shame on you.
