Reasons why was Cappolytree Logbang, the aspiring MP & Mayor of Nyanon was afraid of Nguelemedouga as Sub district officer of Nyanon

And that little ingenious act from Nguelemedouga endeared him to the hearts of the scanty population who came to watch his installation ceremony. They immediately spread the news after the ceremony. He was adopted not after having been given the warning that made him to take a forceful leave. But he was adopted by the people of Nyanon all the same. And as the 1997 June Municipal and Legislative elections approached, Nguelemedouga began registering the application of all political parties that wanted to register their candidates. And on one occasion, he received in his office Professor Malate, who was the leader of a faction of the UPC party and who was also a national or native of the Sanaga Maritime division. Malate was adored by the people and considered a demigod. He was also touted by his own as one of the most brilliant mathematician on earth. The fact that, Nguelemedouga received Malate in his office was another sign of overture made the people of Nyanon who had an ambiguous approach toward their new administrator, but suddenly developed affection and respect for him. The inhabitants of Nyanon were now happy and showed sympathies toward Nguelemedouga, even though they still had some tinge of reservations. The only man in Nyanon who was not happy one bit, with Nguelemedouga was Mr Cappolytree Logbang, who was the designated candidate of the ruling CPDM party in the sub district. He viewed the cordial reception that, Nguelemedouga granted to Malate as a tacit betrayal.

For he(Mr Cappolytree Logbang) feared that, even though the government created the Nyanon sub district and elevated it into an electoral constituency in order for him to be elected Member of Parliament and mayor, in compensation for sponsoring the ruling party, there was not enough guarantee with Nguelemedouga as sub district officer. Hence, Cappolytree took his pen and wrote a three page petition letter to the Minister of Territorial Administration, who is the direct boss of Nguelemedouga. He copied the petition to Prime minister, the Speaker of National assembly and the presidency of the Republic, with expectation that, it will reach the office of the president of the Republic via the secretariat general. In his petition, Mr Cappolytree wrote that, he wanted Nguelemedouga to be relieved from his new function as sub district officer and listed the reasons why. He insisted that, it was urgent, and in the words of Cappolytree, Nguelemedouga had gone mad. How? Simply because, the sub district officer had received Malate in his office and also granted authorisation to all factions of the opposition Union of the Population of Cameroon (UPC) to host rallies in Nyanon. He added that, Malate who was the Secretary General of one of the three factions of the UPC could never have enjoyed such royal reception in Nyanon under an Anglophone sub district officer. Even though, Anglophones are reputed to be independent minded, pro-democracy activists and at such, considered enemies of Cameroon.
