The Cameroon People’s Party has frowned at the Minister of Territorial Administration’s meddling in the internal affairs of the party by designating an “illegitimate leader” to act on behalf of the party.

            On Friday in a release that was read over CRTV, The Minister had noted that due to some internal wrangling in the CPP, Tita Fon was empowered to represent the party.

            The CPP in a counter release has noted that there is no legal basis which gives the Minister the right to enter into a political party's internal functioning and decide upon the officials or legal representatives of the party …“without administrative or legal procedure and without so much as a phone call or communication of any sort with party officials”.

            Mr. Samuel Tita Fon designated by the Minister was excluded from the CPP Party on March 29th, 2018 by a decision of the CPP National Council for not respecting the party’s regulations and constitution.

            “We have received no official document in writing, nor have we been contacted by telephone or in person by anyone from the Ministry of Territorial Administration regarding any dispute in the CPP. In the face of misbehaviour on the part of some of our militants who were not respecting our party regulations and constitution, we have sent the Ministry of Territorial Administration correspondence on the dates of February 14th, 2018 and March 19th, 2018 to remind all parties concerned about our party constitution and regulations,” the CPP release noted.

            The officials of the Cameroon People's Party, elected in their party congress of December 4th to 7th, 2014 and therefore legal representatives of the party have described Atanga Nji’s release as null and void and that his “appointment” of Tita Fon has neither the legality nor the legitimacy to speak or act on behalf of the CPP.

            The CPP has regretted that in times like this when Cameroon is facing serious reputational risks in the global community for acts of illegality and impunity with regard to its citizens, the Minister of Territorial Administration would further undermine the country’s democracy by committing acts that are outside the legal and administrative framework of the country.

            “We are not fooled by your manoeuvres and neither are the Cameroonian people. Your lowly undertakings dishonour Cameroon and reveal, to those who were still holding any illusions, the true nature of the regime which you serve. This futile action will not demobilize us, let alone prevent us from acting in accordance with our objectives” the release observes.
