FECAFOOT Saga: June 19 Elections Cancelled, JB Ndeh Takes Over as Interim President

JB Ndeh: Interim President of FECAFOOT

By Fai Cassian Ndi

 The Minister of Sports and Physical Education has been ordered to install John Begheni Ndeh as the Interim President of the Cameroon Football Federation. According confidential sources link to FECAFOOT, the Appeal Committee took the decision to install JB Ndeh today Wednesday 26, 2013 after reviewing submissions from seven regions and another one from JB Ndeh and Madame Marlene to cancel last June 19 elections. According to the hint John Begheni Ndeh will be installed tomorrow Thursday 27, at about 10 am. The elections will be held again. This is what emerged from the meeting of the Ethnics and Fair-play Committee of the Cameroon Football Federation. More so, the June 19, 2013 elections were annulled. According to what we gathered the decision taken by the Appeal Committee is final.

John B Ndeh, formerly 1^st Vice President of FECAFOOT also declared during a Press Conference with journalists in Bamenda that he the legitimate President of the Cameroon Football Federation. John B Ndeh made the declaration in Bamenda on June 26, 2013.

Harping on FECAFOOT bylaw said that he is the Interim President of the Cameroon Football Federation and that as such, he is the exclusive personality authorized to discuss all important matters related to FECAFOOT. To John B Ndeh, last Elective General Assembly in Yaounde was a "Non Event". He said that the cacophony was orchestrated by a group of renegade careerist individuals emphasizing that "To put an end to this imbroglio and cacophony created by a bunch of renegade careerist individuals who have blatantly dishonored and made a mockery of State Authority", the Interim FECAFOOT President said "Enough is Enough”.

 Accordingly, he revealed that measures will be put in place to evict the illegal occupants at FECAFOOT. He quoted article 4:1 of FECAFOOT Special Rules and the decision of the CCA, French acronym (Chambre de Conciliation et d,Arbitrage) to buttress his claims. He also added that CCA had earlier annulled all regional elections in the 9 regions and some divisions in the country. He said that until elections are organized in these places, there is on legitimate Electoral College at FECAFOOT “elections that took place on June 19, 2013 without rerun of these elections are null and void” he added. Rumours as to whether Kaba Christopher, Secretary General of the North West FECAFOOT Judas Iscariot-ed JB Ndeh have been rife in the region. However, a school of thought holds that Kaba Christopher played the ostrich given that his name appeared in Iya’s list.  Mor so, the population is wondering why delegates from the North West Region didn’t walk out of the hall given that their President JB Ndeh wasn’t present. It is also alleged that money also changed hands in Yaounde reasons why some of them who left the North West Region to support JB Ndeh were blinded by flashy bank notes.
