I Have Never Been An SDF Militant- Section Youth President Misaje


Abubakar Mejinyewa (Babayo)
CPDM Youth President D/M IV  Section


The newly elected Section Youth President for Donga Mantung IV in Misaje, Abubakar Mejinyewa alias Babayo has had his baptism of fire from sympathisers of the social democratic front SDF in Misaje. With the backing of handful of his comrades who could not muster the courage to challenge him during the reorganization of the party given his popularity, he is now being accused of haven cross carpet from the SDF in to the CPDM and elected YCPDM President for Donga Mantung IV Section.
According to a publication by a local news tabloid “Shong”, SDF militants are still expecting an official resignation from their party.When Eden contacted the Section President for reaction, he said, those allegations are unfounded and baseless. He insisted that he has never been an SDF militant in the first place to start with and that the time he was still contemplating to go in to serious politics, a friend Isaac Maah of the SDF party spotted his seeming  interest and came to him for his support  in a bid to vy for the council in 2013. Haven come a long way he Abubakar Mejinyewa reluctantly did so, but reminded Isaac Maah in advance that, “I am supporting  you not the SDF party so do not rely on me when I make my choice of a political party when my time comes.” This to the best of his understanding his friend Isaac Maah understood with him.
That is how he, Abubakar Mejinyewa came close to SDF militants and at times accompanied his friend to some of their rallies which gave him the opportunity to understand the mindsetof SDF militants and their goals in politics. These he did not buy given their appraoch to issues with no concret solutions invisaged. Hear him, “After the 2013 municipal election my friend did not make overpowered by the strength of the CPDM in the area so I told my friend that my time has come to move on and make a choice in politics which I went for the CPDM party as a registered militant and today an elected Youth President. If I am being accused today of haven not resigned from the SDF which I was neither a member nor a registered militant then it is full hardy of them. This to me says it all, that those propagating such allegations do not even master what it takes to belong to a political party. If at this point in time SDF bigwigs in Misaje , can not differentiate between a sympathizer of a politician and a militant of a party and more so if they do not know their militants through registration and still depends on crowds at rallies for support then it is unfortunate.”
