HRH Senator Lekunze Andreas Nembo III, Ruler of the First Class Fondom of Bamumbu, Wabane in the Lebialem Division has unequivocally dished out messages of Hope, Peace, Socioeconomic and Cultural Development to Bamumbu People resident in the Noun Division. This took place during his four-day tour of the West Region which started from July 31st and ended on the 3rd of August.
Explaining the raison d'etre of his visit in Noun the Senator said “My visit to the Bamumbu people resident in Noun Division has been long awaited. This is because we live in communion with our people who are in Bamumbu as well as those who are out of the Fondom. Given the fact that a huge number of our people have left the village to settle as Internally Displaced People in different parts of the country, it became more urgent to go to the Noun Division where there is a heavy concentration of Bamumbu people. There are those who have been living there for over sixty years and those who went there recently as IDPs as a result of the crisis. I went there to give them a message of hope and reassurance and to better prepare them to get back to their Communities and face the challenges waiting for them there so as to carry forward the Socioeconomic development of our Fondom.”
The Senator said it was a very hectic visit that left indelible marks in the minds of both the people and himself adding that they separated with the people on a very happy note. The Communion was very warm and he seized the opportunity to emphasize on the need for peace and unity in the community and in the country. He preached messages of reconciliation as this would permit them to go back to their Fondom as a united people and assist in the Reconstruction process. The Senator also encouraged his subjects to register in the Electoral Registers of their host Communities and massively participate in all upcoming elective exercises in the direction towards which he was leading them which he said was for the purpose of the development and edification of the Bamumbu community.
HRH Senator Lekunze Andreas Nembo III also dished out messages on civic behaviour and patriotism. These he said had to be their watch words and had to be permanent on their minds, thoughts and actions. The Senator encouraged them to fully participate in the Socioeconomic and cultural development of Noun Division not forgetting that they owed a very significant responsibility in the Socioeconomic and cultural development of Bamumbu in Wabane, Lebialem in the South West Region.
The Senator did not fail to harp on the importance of obeying barrier measures in order to stop the spread of COVID-19 and urged them to take their Vaccines.
HRH Senator Lekunze Andreas Nembo III maintained contact with the gods and ancestors of Bamumbu as he invoked and talked with them through ritualistic pouring of libations. The intention here was to cleanse the people and their Communities of perpetrators of evil.
Representatives of the Fon and his cabinet in Noun Division were chosen to lead the ever increasing population of Bamumbu People there.
In collaboration with the Administration and the indeginous Traditional Ruler Fon Lekunze Andreas Nembo III of Bamumbu presented the chosen representatives to the Sultan of Foumban, Senator Mbombo Njoya.
The first stop that the Senator made was in Kouoptamo, the second stop was in Foumban and the third was in Foumbot.
The fourth lap of his visit was in Bafoussam and it culminated in consultations with Royal Family Members. This four-day visit to the West Region with activities focused in the Noun Division ended on a positive note.
The hectic visit was rendered colourful and exotic by colourful Traditional Dances, Traditional ritualistic invocations and a mass turn out to welcome an illustrious son and King.
