On the recommendations of North West Governor Adolph Lele Lafrique Divisional bureaus of the North West Fons Union-NOWEFU have started holding extra ordinary General Assemblies in a bid to revue and adopt NOWEFU new constitution. The process started with the Menchum Fons Union on April 30, 2016.

Sources say following attempts by the outgoing executive of NOWEFU to manipulate the constitution, North West Governor instructed all senior Divisional Officers to adopt the new constitution in order to put an end to the present stalemate.

The main aim we gathered is for the traditional rulers to scrape the post of Honorary President General which carries along with it sweeping powers.

It is expected that Fon Teche will hand over power to the Fon of Nkambe soon. This is so because HRH Fon Ibrahim Japbfu Nfor was endorsed pending elective general assembly. Sources say the 83 fons of Menchum had endorsed the candidature of the fon of Nkambe, this The Eye gathered is sign of victory.

The fons of Menchum also strategized on how they could grab some major positions in the Fon of Nkambe led executive. As momentum gathers ahead of NOWEFU Elective General Assembly, prospects are high at that by June ending, NOWEFU should have a new exco.
