Barrister Tamfu Richard hints on suing Atanga Nji for power abuse

Human rights lawyer, Tamfu Richard Esq, has hinted on dragging to court the Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji, for abuse of power.

The lawyer who recently joined the PCRN political party, says Mr Atanga Nji has been infringing on the political rights of Cameroonians.

His comments are not unconnected to recent happenings within the Cameroon Party for National Reconciliation (PCRN).

The Minister has deepened the party’s internal crisis by imposing Robert Kona as leader amid an ongoing court dispute over the party’s leadership.

Cabral Libi, a member of Parliament for the party, was elected leader of the PCRN in 2019 until recently, when a farce emanated between him and one of its founding fathers, Robert Kona, now allied with Minister Paul Atanga Nji.

“Mister Atanga Nji Paul has for the past years demonstrated himself as the only public servant who has overtaken advantage of his position as Minister of Territorial Administration by infringing on the political rights and liberties of Cameroonians,” said Tamfu Richard.

“It is high time that we drag him to Court to face the law for abuse of function as prescribed by the Cameroon Penal Code. Let’s meet in court henceforth,” he stated.

Earlier on, Barrister Tamfu Richard expressed frustrations after his application to lead the PCRN participation in the May 20 celebrations in Bamenda was rejected by administrative authorities.

“I am very angry this morning. I feel like taking another nationality,” he said.

“How can I be deprived of taking part in the march past parade of my country, Cameroon? This is unbelievable! Where are we heading to?” he taunted.

Authorities in Bamenda prohibited the PCRN from participating in the National Day parade, a decision taken by administrative authorities in other parts of the country, including Yaounde.
