Manyu SDO installing Eyumojock Mayors

Ntufam Ayamba Jacques Ita made the appeal     following his official installation by the SDO for Manyu, Oum II Joseph, on 16 October. The deputy mayors of the municipality were also installed.
    “Today is a wonderful day as I have finally been installed as the Mayor. My role as Mayor is to serve, to empower, to develop and to improve on the living conditions of my population,” Ntufam Ayamba said, appealing for total and sincere collaboration of all in the municipality.
    The Mayor who doubles as the traditional ruler of Eyumojock town, promised to do his best to ensure the return of peace and normalcy in Eyumojock. He appealed to his brothers and sisters still carrying arms in the bushes to drop them and join him in the development process.
    “I am calling on my brothers who are still in the bushes to come out. It is now our turn. I am a Mayor who is young like them and one who understands their problems. Let us come together as a people and see how together we can develop this frontier municipality which should be a citadel and a reference in Cameroon,” he beckoned. 
    In an extra-ordinary council session that preceded the installation, Akat Peter Takang was unanimously voted (19 out of 20 votes) as 2nd assistant mayor, to replace Winifred Besem Ayuk who resigned due to incompatibility.  
    Installing Mayor Ayamba Jacques Ita, and Orang Regina and Akat Peter Takang (first and second deputies respectively), the SDO challenged them to be peace crusaders.
    He urged them to collaborate with the supervisory authority, encourage and support school resumption, create and encourage vigilant groups and assist displaced persons returning from Nigeria.
    The hitch-free installation ceremony unfolded in the presence of the population and some elite of Eyumojock including notably the MP. Hon Teku Teku Tanyi.
