North West Elite(s) meeting in Yaounde
have decided that HRH Senator Fon Teche, the outgoing President of the North West
Fons Union-NOWEFU must organize an elective General Assembly so as to hand
over the leadership with immediate effect. The Eye gathered that North West elite(s)
mostly high profile personalities in government took that decision last week in
a stormy meeting. The elite also called on the outgoing President of NOWEFU to facilitate
the adoption of a new constitution. They decried the fact that the one-time
biggest lobbying group that is wallowing in the gutter. Prime Minister Philemon
Yang, The Eye is aware was very bitter that a one-time enviable association has
been transformed into a sinkhole by its present leadership. According to the hint, PM Yang gave just two months for NOWEFU outgoing President to organize the elective general assembly. It should be
recalled that Fon Teche’s mandate expired in March 2015 reasons why PM Yang is
quoted to have given firm instructions to that effect.
Donga Mantung Division was expected to
produce the next President of NOWEFU yet matters came to a head when the Fon
Chafah in his capacity as founding member took the matter to court. Last
December, the Mezam High Court ruled that the outgoing President should
organize an Annual General Assembly to adopt a new constitution as well as hand
power.
Yet HRH Fon Teche has been mute.
Allegedly, the court ruling even gave him the leeway to remain in power up to
2018. Public opinion in the North West
Region has saluted the fact that Prime Minister, Philemon Yang as well as North
West elite in Yaounde have decided to put an end to the precarious crisis in
NOWEFU. Worthy to note that Fon Teche
Njei who is Fon of Ngyen-Muwa village in Momo Division, and Senator, was
elected President of NOWEFU on March 16, 2012. After serving his three years
term as spelt out in the Union’s constitution, Teche’s mandate expired on March
16, 2015. His reluctance to convene an elective general assembly after the
expiration of his mandate is the reason behind Chafah’s warning. The situation
has left many to conclude that there is a power vacuum at the helm of NOWEFU.
