He told thousands that showed up at the installation ceremony that “time has come for real business” which starts with the new set of councilors. SDO Nzeki Theophile emphasized that the election of Nkum council executive did not only took place according to the rules and regulations governing councils in Cameroon but have been endorsed by the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization. Before moving to those who were to be installed, Nzeki Theophile thanked the outgone mayor, Mayeni Kifon and his team for being result-oriented and at the same time ushered in the Suila Aruna and his team.
Nzeki Theophile challenged the incoming council executive as well as councilors to never lose sight of the importance of putting in place the basics that will enhance development with more maturity, and responsibility. He also called on the newly elected council executive to remove their political jackets and forge ahead with the development of Nkum council area, meaning that Suila Aruna though a militant of the
SDF is mayor of all citizens.
