In Yaoundé, hero's welcome for an election fraudstar

At the Score Supermarket located within the Business District of Yaoundé, Nguelemedouga bought some snacks and other goodies for his daughter, Risdoh. It was a Friday and the month was November and Nguelemedouga was back in Yaoundé. Throughout the weekend, he spent time home with two of his three children along with Noako, their mother. And on Monday morning, he woke up very early and prepared breakfast for his family, after which, he took his bath and later on, drove to the ministry of Territorial Administration, where he received a hero’s welcome. He was congratulated personally by the minister of Territorial Administration for having succeeded in cleverly rigging the presidential and legislative elections in Nyanon. He had a private reunion with the minister of Territorial Administration for about an hour. But no one knows what the spoke about. After their meeting, the minister asked him to go and see the Director of administration at the ministry of Territorial Administration. Why? No one knows. Was it for the payment of his salary arrears or promotion? It has remained a mystery, but a mystery that won’t be long to be unfolded. During his private conversation with his direct boss, who is the Director of administration at ministry of Territorial Administration, he received a phone call from the presidency of the Republic. It was the head of state himself who called to congratulate Nguelemedouga.

He was informed that, he would be promoted to the post of Senior Divisional Officer (SDO) and would also be transferred to a prestigious region. His new posting will be Mezam Division in the north of Anglophone Cameroon otherwise known as the North West province. He was instructed to do what he has done in Nyanon, but in a bigger and in much tougher terrain. But for the time being, Nguelemedouga had to stay in Nyanon as Sub District Officer, until a replacement is sorted out and an administrative decree is issued. The confirmation of the transfer of Nguelemedouga to the North of Anglophone Cameroon and not the south of the same region was feted by some elites turned circumstantial lobbyists of the latter part of Anglophone Cameroon. For they had feared that, Nguelemedouga who is unpredictable, if he was posted to the south of Anglophone Cameroon otherwise known as the South west province, he may decide to stop overtly rigging elections in favour of elites of the region. South West elites, who are supporting the ruling party, knew that, in case the unpredictable Nguelemedouga decides not to rig elections, they were going to lose the ceremonial but prestigious post of Prime minister.
