Despite
being best friends through thick and thin since the creation of the North West
Fons Union-NOWEFU, it clear that Fon Chafah of Bangolang and Fon Teche Njei of
Ngyenmuwa have fallen out. It has finally emerged that the duo (formerly ring
leaders of the Kaduna mafia) as they used to call themselves have descended so
low to wash royal linens in public. This has been confirmed by a release issued
recently by Fon Chafah rubbishing his former ally (Fon Teche).
What
is however intriguing is that these former ring leaders of the Kaduna mafia
tacitly claim ownership over NOWEFU. At the beginning of the week, Fon Chafah
fired an unguided missile towards Fon Teche. In a letter to Mezam SDO Nguele
Nguele Felix, which several quarters were copied titled “Truth and Facts which
may be bitter but necessary for posterity” (he) Fon Chafah outline the
following points against his former friend:
*“Senator
Fon Teche Njei has never convened a single General Assembly or Executive
meeting of NOWEFU since his election in 2012, thereby leading the association single
handedly with demagogy, manipulation, division and misinformation. He has even
summarily put aside his Secretary General, Fon Ndofoa Zofoa of Babungo.
*Being
the first Third Class Fon with a very tiny population to head NOWEFU, he has
systematically excluded all the First Class Fons and Second Class prominent of
the region from the affairs of the association, so as to continuously
manipulate a few fons who run after him.
*Clandestine
trips to Yaounde to harass state officials for pecuniary gains and self aggrandizement
are frequent under his leadership, thereby putting the once respected Fons of
the region to ridicule and disgrace.
*A
grand fundraising was organized by him soon after his election to complete a
multi-purpose secretariat complex of NOWEFU built up to 80% under my presidency,
no work has been done and no account rendered of the ten million FCFA collected
for that purpose. In fact reliably sources hold that huge sums of money were
collected by him and pocketed from prominent state personalities amongst which
are the Secretary General and Assistant Secretary General at the Presidency,
and the delegate general of the National Security.
*Politics
being a game of numbers and results, it is on record that he has never won any
election for the ruling CPDM where he is Senator and Central Committee member
through appointment. His Batibo Constituency has been in the hands of the
opposition since the inception of multi-party politics. His colleague in the
senate, Fon Doh Gayonga of Bali proudly has his Bali council under the control
of the CPDM. I equally proudly have all the two (2) parliamentary seats, the Senatorial
seat and all the three councils in my Ngoketunjia constituency under the CPDM.
That is what we call support for President Paul Biya, National Chairman of the
ruling party and not empty noise and demagogy. CPDM is the winning party in my
Fondom Bangolan.
In
light of foregoing sir, I retreat you to take this moment of truth in good
faith and to support us to re-establish legality of NOWEFU.
With
the expiration of Fon Teche’s mandate on the 16th of March 2015, he
no longer has the locus standi to act on behalf of NOWEFU and any attempt by
him to convene any meeting to modify our constitution shall be considered as
null and void. Any administrative authority or persons treating with him in
that capacity are no longer doing so in the interest of the North West Fons. The
Advisory Council of NOWEFU shall be meeting very soon to chart a way forward
for the association with a view to putting in place a transitional committee to
organize elections for a new President General from any of the two gaining
divisions”.
Fon
Chafah also revealed that NOWEFU is a legal structure and was duly registered on
November 10, 2010 by the then Senior Divisional Officer for Mezam, Jules
Marcelin Djaga. Fon Chafah Issac finds faults with Mezam Administration for
asking Fon Teche to organize a general assembly to adopt a new constitution for
NOWEFU, even though Mezam SDO Nguele Nguele is said to have been wondering why
NOWEFU had three different constitutions.
