Cavaye Yeguire Djibril Speaker of the lower house of parliament recently surprised Cameroonians by launching his own version of a national generosity campaign which he noted "is geared towards helping the Cameroon military" as they continue to wage the war against Boko Haram insurgence.
The veteran politician who hails from the Far North Region that has been under constant Boko Haram terrorists attacks, limited his “operation coup de Coeur” only to the honorable members of parliament.
In a soul-searching speech Cavaya Yeguire Djibril appealed to the 180 members of the National Assembly to make financial contributions to the Cameroon army.
Cavaye told the MPs that he will channel whatever amount is collected to the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization to procure the necessary amenities needed by military.
It is not the first time a senior official in the ruling CPDM government is making such an appeal. During the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA, former Prime Minister Simon Achidi Achu carried out a similar measure.
