Special Coverage of the SDF @ 25

The Sultan of
Bamoun and Senator Ibrahim Mbombo Njoya was amongst the special quests to the
Silver Jubilee of the Social Democratic Front SDF, this May 26, 2015 in
Bamenda. Being a senior and fervent militant of the Cameroon’s People Democratic
Front CPDM, one would have expected him to stay by the Secretary General of his
party who was mandated by the party hierarchy to be at the SDF anniversary.
This was not the case. Just after the anniversary speech of the SDF National
Chairman John Fru Ndi, the imposing bodied Sultan got off and took his leave.

The question
has been why he left so early. Many have been quick to say that surely he left
in protest following some issues raised by the SDF Chairman. One of them was
the reminder that Ibrahim Mbombo Njoya was Minister of Territorial Administration
in May of 1990 when the SDF was launched. The next was that he (Ibrahim Mbombo
Njoya) refused seeing the application file of the SDF after it was reported
that the application was transferred from the office of the Senior Divisional
Officer for Mezam to the Ministry and many others.
Nothing that
traditional rulers do not tell lies in Africa this might have been the issue
that caused the Sultan to leave the event ground in protest before the March
pass. However he may still leave for more serious state duty calls we are only
thinking aloud.
