A Wimbum Fon to replace Senator Fon Teche at NOWEFU Presidency next March 2015 and be Appointed Senator April 2018

Senator Fon Teche

The mandate of the executive of North West Fons’ Union (NOWEFU) expires at midnight on March 15, 2015. The 55–man executive, elected in 2012 would thus be illegal from March 16, 2015. Since its creation, NOWEFU has had five successive Fons from five of the seven Divisions of the North West Region as its President. Starting first with Fon Abumbi of Bafut (Mezam), Second with Fon Sehm Mbinglo of Nso (Bui), third with Fon Chafah XI of Bangolan (Ngoketunjia), fourth with Fon Francis Aneng of Bafmen (Menchum), and fifth with Fon Senator Teche of Ngye Muwa (Momo), Donga Mantung is now expected to produce the sixth NOWEFU President. The Fon of Nkambe is expected to be NOWEFU President next year says the Chronicle newspaper.

            If President Biya’s 2010 confession to the Fons that when the Senate would be put in place, NOWEFU leadership would be made a Senator which actually happened and Fon Teche the then NOWEFU President became Senator remains, then by 2018 a Fon from Donga Mantung will as well be appointed Senator. It is on record that the rotatory NOWEFU Presidency has seen

the Division of Mezam, Bui, Ngoketunjia, Menchum and Momo at the helm. Only Donga Mantung and Boyo are left. Donga Mantung would produce the next NOWEFU President. The paper says that only votes from Momo, where Fon Teche hails, can dictate who become NOWEFU’S next President and Senator in April 2018. Momo Division is therefore poised to dictate the pace in 2015 for NOWEFU Presidency, which undoubtedly is a Fon from Donga Mantung Division.
