Nfor Tabe Tando
“Retired civil servants especially those who occupied influential positions like ambassadors are alleged to either belong to the Southern Cameroons National Council, SCNC or bankrolling that movement in order to be reappointed in the government.”
The statement was made by Nfor Tabe Tando, leader of South West senators, during a recent meeting with the population of Meme at the conference hall of Kumba city council.
Tabe Tando, a lawyer and an oil mogul claimed that some individuals under the guise of the SCNC are moving around advocating for the secession of Southern Cameroons from the rest of the country.
Without mentioning any name(s), Tabe Tando said the SCNC is being bankrolled by some former retired high profile and influential civil servants such as ambassadors who according to him are only just seeking to be reappointed into the government. The Manyu senator challenged his colleagues to show him any clause in the union’s constitution which favours secession.
Apart from Senator Nfon V.E Mukete who was said to be out of the country, all South West senators were present. Taking their turns, the senators told the Meme population that they were outing for the first time to acquaint themselves with their various populations in order to better handle the problems of the region collectively.
The South West senators’ next stop was Mumdemba in Ndian division. In a keynote address, former PM, Senator Peter Mafany Musonge reiterated the fact that the tour of the region was intended for the senators to acquaint themselves with the electorate and get firsthand information of their problems.
He also averred that the tour was necessary, given that the senators would have to face the same electorate for (re) election come 2018. Though senator Musonge avoided mentioning SCNC by name, he did not avoid mention of Boko Haram.
