-Charges Mayor for Outright
Trespass into University Land
-Building Market Sheds inside
University Campus
-Questions the Authority of
Tubah Population Over the Usage of their Own Land
The VC Chancellor of the
University of Bamenda Prof. Theresa Nkuo who doubles as Ex- Cameroon CWA chairlady
for your attention stepped on the toes of Tubah Mayor last week and
by extension spoiled working relation with Elites of the said Sub-Division and
the Population of the four villages that make up Tubah( Bambui, Bambili, Kedjum
Keku, Kedjum Ketingoh).
Crooks of the Matter;
She complained to the Prime
Minister, through the DO of Tubah, and the SDO of Mezam accusing Mayor Tanjong
Martin of Tubah Council for building market sheds inside University Land and
for disturbing the quiet studying environment of students. Which according to the
Mayor are false accusations and blatant lies meant to tarnish the hard earned
reputation of the Mayor who has been working day and night to face lift his
municipality and to create a quiet comfortable study environment for the
students and a suiting habitat for all.
Reaction of the Mayor:
As a patriotic Cameroonian, a
resident Mayor, with all the risks involved, the Lord Mayor of Tubah Council Tanjong
Martin responding to the VC Chancellor of the University of Bamenda Prof
Theresa NKuo who by passed her person and went as far as framing him up to the
Prime Minister, called a press conference on Tuesday the 26th of
April 2022 and exploded.
In anger and firm terms, the
Mayor expressed surprise about the VC’s behavior and false accusations. Denying
that he is not building the 34 market sheds authorized by a whole Regional
follow up commission in the University Campus.
A project he emphasized was almost a kilometer away from the University Campus and
belt in conformity with the law.
The Mayor questioned what
moral authority the VC had over land and the exploitation of land in his
municipality knowing very well how the Mayor personally fought to secure study space
for students at Mushong Mabuh and CCAST Bambili in the then days of students
explosion, not to talk of the main access, and second access roads to the
University, water and other social amenities.
To the Mayor, all these
sacrifices to the University for all this while has meant nothing to the VC
Chancellor. What interest the VC is her Land not the land of the people of
Tubah she came and met until she is now questioning the authority of the same
people who voluntarily gave her the land.
Ending the press briefing
that took Media men and women to the site, he appealed to the high powers that
be that in the event of appointing officials to head institutions in the
University of Bamenda, the government should consider appointing sons and
daughters of the soil who will governe
and administer with the fear of the Lord and the people, not greedy and out
rightly pompous individuals.
What the VC’s False accusations
has provoked and landed her into;
Not only has her false
accusations meted on the Mayor entangled her in a mess, but in a deep pit. The issue at stake, has come to completely
spoil her working relation with the council, elites of Tubah, the authorities
in place and by extension the population who are already clamoring for her
sacking.
From all indication, the bad
steps she took, misled by the Director of NAHPI Prof. Fidelis Cho-Ngwa was
biting more than she can swallow and stepping on the toes of a lion.
Where she is, it is obvious,
she will be summoned in the days ahead for serious questioning and the public
should not be surprised if the elites gang up or team up against her. Petitions
and joint motions calling on her sacking should normally be in the offing and in
the course, quite a lot will be brought to the lime light about her mal-gestion
for the past years all because she dared Tanjong a fearless son of the soil of
Tubah.
Land and tradition in the
North West
Women, by their very nature
are not supposed to talk about land according to grass field tradition. And in no
occasion does an individual dispute land with the givers and the owners. Which
is the case today with Akenji and the people of Tubah who willfully and freely gave
all their land to the University and she has put them to questioning today. Going
as far as disputing land with the Landlord means Akenji mean business up at UBa.
The Future
There is no future as bleak
and blear as the one lying ahead of the VC because she has challenged the last
person who stood by her in Tubah, just by that simple error, she should be
ready to face all the elites of Tubah because they are not people to tamper
with. In fact the gods of Tubah has blindfolded Ma Akenji into an irrational decision,
and plunged her into a deep blue sea.
Finally, the Akenji Era at
the Helm of UBa
Tongues are still wagging and
lot has been said about the lady in question and her administration self
imposed on the University community of UBa by Yang.
What UBa has suffered in her hands,
from public opinion is worst than the days of Prof Tafah Edokatt as VC. Affairs
a suivre…..
