The coastal communities of Wovia and Botaland echoed with chants of “Victory!” and the rhythmic beats of traditional dances on Wednesday October 8, 2025, as the CPDM campaign train, steered by its formidable leader Dr. Thomas Ndive Molungu, swept through the villages with a clear message: vote for continuity, peace, and progress by re-electing President Paul Biya this October 12.
The campaign team, which included the Fako 1B Section President, Ephraim Mbai, and the Mayor of Limbe II, HRH Chief Daniel Woka Ngale Ndive, embarked on a dynamic door-to-door strategy, meeting voters directly to consolidate support for the ruling party’s candidate.
A Message of Tangible Achievements and Future Promise
The reception in Wovia was warm, with HRH Chief George Dikanjo blessing the campaign and urging for peaceful proceedings. Local speakers, Comrades Ashu Enow and Chief Derick Molokwa, catalogued the benefits brought by the Biya administration, from the appointment of young leaders like Limbe City Mayor Paul Efome Mbole Ngale to concrete projects like SONARA’s provision of potable water, new classrooms, road repairs, and solar street lamps.
Section President Mbai Ephraim energized the crowd with a practical call to action, urging every militant to network and bring at least four neighbours to the polls on Sunday to vote for the “Champion,” President Biya.
“Vote Mbomi!” – A Culturally-Tailored Call
A distinctive feature of the Limbe II campaign has been its multilingual approach, seamlessly switching between English, Pidgin, and the local Bakweri language to ensure the message resonates with every voter. This strategy crystallized in the powerful, locally-rooted instruction to “Vote Mbomi!”—”Mbomi” meaning “white” in Bakweri, the colour of President Biya’s ballot paper.
Dr. Ndive: The Anchor of the Campaign
Sealing the powerful messages in both villages was the Campaign Head, Dr. Thomas Ndive Molungu. With the authority of a leader deeply invested in the region’s development, Dr. Ndive left no room for ambiguity.
He framed the election as a critical choice between a proven leader and mere adventurers. “He said all the others were mere adventurers with no real programmes to offer,” the report stated, emphasizing that President Biya remains the sole candidate capable of guaranteeing the peace, freedoms, and cherished spirit of living together that defines cosmopolitan communities like Botaland and Wovia.
Dr. Ndive’s presence and closing arguments provided the authoritative capstone to the rallies, transforming the litany of local achievements into a compelling national argument for stability and unity under President Biya.
Botaland Pledges a Landslide
The community of Botaland, with a significant bloc of 4,200 voters, reaffirmed its history of 100% support for the CPDM. Local leaders and youth representatives, like Caroline Moli Etala, pointed to government initiatives like the National Youth Service Scheme as evidence of Biya’s commitment to the next generation.
In a telling display of local loyalty and ambition, the populations promised not just votes for President Biya, but also to use their overwhelming mandate to advocate for a greater role for Dr. Ndive himself, expressing hope that their support would see him “eventually made the General Manager” of the Limbe Ports Authority.
The vibrant campaigns, punctuated by cultural performances, concluded on a high note of unity and determination. The team now moves forward, carrying the momentum and Dr. Ndive’s decisive message to the Ngeme community on Thursday, October 9th.
