The reasons why Nyanon sub district located in the Sanaga maritime division was created

In Nyanon, where Nguelemedouga was transferred to, because he supported the planned installation of Islamic rule in Couseri and Makari, the speaker of National assembly Honourable Abdulkadir was very happy. For he knew that, however brilliant Nguelemedouga was, Nyanon was where his career will be destroyed. All top government dignitaries in Yaoundé knew that, Bassaland in general was not an easy place to work in, but Nyanon was a largely difficult and slippery terrain to work in. Nyanon was a new sub district created by the government to help one of her Bassa sympathiser, who had spent lots of monies during the previous presidential elections, in order to permit the ruling Cameroon’s People Democratic Movement (CPDM) to win in the Sanaga Maritime division against one of the two candidates of the Union of the Population of Cameroon (UPC). The UPC was one of the many opposition parties of Cameroon. Nyanon’s creation was a kind of pay back time from an unpopular government who wanted one of his supporters to get a parliamentary seat.

The central committee of the ruling party had tried in vein to impose Cappolytree in other constituencies of the Sanaga Maritime division, but met resistance and threats that, if he was imposed, the constituency will vote for either one of the two factions of the UPC or for candidate of the nightmare of the ruling party, the opposition Social Democratic Front (SDF). Hence they resolved to elevate Nyanon, a village within the Ndom sub division into a sub district and also an electoral constituency. Nyanon was ideally situated on the map of the Sanaga maritime division. For it share a boundary with the centre province, precisely the Lekie division, which was populated by Eton nationals or natives. The Etons belong to the greater Beti Nation. This meant that, Nyanon was a majority Bassa district, but it had her own minority Betis population, who would vote during the parliamentary elections and will certainly overturn any tendency of the electorate to vote for the opposition.
