K-town Varsity: Meme Elite wash dirty linen over motion to Biya

-EkaleMukete and Ayuk Johnson mount the boxing ring

By Eddy Bokuba in Kumba

A meeting convened by Meme elite to prepare a motion of thanks to president Biya for creating a University Institute in Kumba, did not end without a replay of the kind of ugly things that politics in Kumba has come to be known for. The meeting on 10 March, presided over by the Paramount Ruler of the Bafaws, Senator Nfon V.E. Mukete, went on smoothly until the patriarch penned his signature on the motion document and retired to his palace.

                But no sooner did Senator Mukete vacate from the hall than one of his sons, Prince EkaleMukete, former mayor of Kumba 1 council created a scene that almost destroyed the good initiative that his father just oversaw. 

                          Ayuk Johnson goes for a flying tackle on Prince EkaleMukete, 

                                       but another CPDM militant stops him in mid air

 

                The paramount prince engaged one of his erstwhile acolytes, Ayuk Johnson alias Kabila, in a bitter and ugly altercation that almost ended in the exchange of punches, if not of the timely and brave intervention of Justice Benjamin Itoe and Kevin NnokoMbele, the former government delegate of Kumba.

                Prince Ekale who bumped into the meeting only towards its end to also pen his signature on the motion document, questioned why Ayuk Johnson had to be allowed to also sign the document when according to him Ayuk was a pseudo-CPDM supporter. Ekale said if he had known that Ayuk also signed the document he would not have signed it.

                Acting true-to-type, Ayuk could not swallow the remark from Prince Ekale and he immediately took on his former “mafia boss”, creating what can very aptly be described as an ugly melo-drama.

                Fortunately for the two protagonists, as they clenched their fists and made for the kill, Justice Itoe and NnokoMbele intervened and saved what promised to be a typical Mike Tyson-Evander Hollyfield boxing duel.

                Yet, holding the two gladiators back did not stop them from trading insults and cursing one another.

                Commentators at the scene wondered how and why the two former partners had so suddenly become cat and mouse. Some questioned why grown-ups who are supposed to show the good example should go so low as to fight in public. Still others remarked that such occurrences are not strange in Kumba, where politics has been transformed into a spectator sport and with political actors now behaving like gladiators and court jesters.

                But the ‘Motion of Thanks and Support to president Biya’ was concluded and sent to Yaounde. The objective of the mmeting was met afterall.

                It should be mentioned however that ever since the decree creating the K-town Varsity was published, almost every political actor in Meme has jumped for the occasion and are claiming to be the brain behind the coming of the institution. While the SWELA Scribe says the school was contained in the speech he had prepared to read in Buea during the reunification celebration, others say they were the ones who lobbied Yaounde to bring the school to Kumba and not Ombe where it was naturally supposed to be situated.
