Kang Barombi gets a new Chief
By Doh Bertrand Nua in Kumba
The power tussle between two brothers of
Kang Barombi, a village found in Kumba III Sub-Division on who will finally
emerge as chief of the village has been laid to rest following the enthronement
and installation of a new chief, Chief Akama Jacob recently. The new chief who
is a teacher by profession was installed by the Divisional officer for Kumba
III Sub-Division, GilbetBadena. While installing him to his functions, the DO
called on him to ensure peace and order reins in the village as well as
challenged him to ensure the unity of the villagers and bring together the
warring factions in the village for the common good of the people of Kang Barombi.
The
DO equally warned on anyone who may attempt causing disorder in the community
as well as called on the under disgruntled factions to all rally their support
behind the new chief in order for peace to reign to the village.
The newly enthroned chief, Akama Jacob
takes over from his late brother, Chief AkamaKilise Jonathan who died last
year. The heavily attended ceremony was witness by a massive turnout of the
villagers of Kang Barombi, elites of the village and other authorities. It was
equally in the presence of the paramount ruler of the Barombis, Chief Dr.
Diongote Joseph who doubles as the minister delegate in the ministry of
external relations in charge of the common world.
After
his installation, the new chief revealed the battle for supremacy has been laid
to rest and it was time for peace to reign. He however pleaded on those not
happy with his enthronement to join him for the common good of the village
"I am a Christian and I belief I am going to apply my Christian values"
he promised. He equally promised no favoritism of family members or
relatives/friends as well as corruption will be tolerated while administering
his people as chief.
