The North West as published
For President, the committee approved the candidatures of Chi Ivo and Felix Mbigha. The only thing both men share is the fact that they are club promoters. While Chi Ivo is completely a product of football at every level with a career as player agent, coach, manager etc, Mbigha Felix is a politician and Mayor heading one of the councils in Bamenda. The later is also the incumbent.
Neba George Shu and Jephter Pase are the contestants for the post of regional league first vice president. President of newly promoted Elite two side Rangers FC Bafut and businessman, Neba George who had earlier declared for President will be facing Jephter Pase promoter of Women's league one side Vision Sport FC Bamenda. While George's program is known, nothing is public about what Pase plans to do for the league.
One Nnu Sixtus Nyia is the only candidate for post of second vice President.
With no member for the federal executive committee like other regions, the North West has lined up a list of 12 for the post of delegate to the FA general assembly. Amongst the 12 is incumbent league President Mbigha Felix who hopes to not only be President but also delegate. Former Secretary General of the league and parliamentarian Agho Oliver is also on the list. Promoter of Abakwa FC Fomun Victorine, Jani Benedict North West referees association President, Dinga Joseph Promoter of Bamenda FC and academy, Murum Divine of Santos FC, Nchinda Charles current vice president of the league amongst others look forward to be chosen for the post of delegate.
So far, Hilltopvoices has gathered information revealing fierce confrontations between the candidates with some no longer at talking terms. Secret meetings have held in a effort to find a consensus and failed to yield fruits.
The list carries the names of Samuel Eto'o declared candidate for the post of Federal Executive Committee President as delegate to the Littoral Regional league assembly from the Sanaga Maritime division and incumbent Seidou Mbombo Njoya as delegate from the Noun division to the West regional assembly.
