Journalists in Buea, under the banner of Cameroon English-speaking Journalists, (CAMASEJ), have put their differences aside and agreed to move forward by strengthening the good of the association.
On Saturday, April 6, the National Bureau of the Association led a mobilisation and reconciliation effort that resulted in their putting aside their differences.
At the meeting, the journalists of the Buea Chapter frankly discussed issues that have plagued the association since the mandate of its executive expired, pending elections.
Before the meeting, there was a bone of contention among members regarding the leadership of the association, which many blamed on the lack of a proper executive.
The caretaker government of Camasej is being led by its President, Abah Isidore, who is currently out of the country.
Abah’s mandate expired, and elections were called, but the National Executive overrode it, citing a tour that was needed before a new exco could be put in place.
However, during the tour, which ended on Saturday, April 6, the journalists agreed to urgently request from the National Exco the holding of their chapter election to put in place a new executive that can properly handle the activities of the association.
The delegation of the National Bureau expressed gratitude to the Buea chapter for forgiving one another and agreeing to put the interests of the association first. The delegation also encourages current members to learn to work in solidarity and synergy.
If the recommendations are speedily handled, CAMASEJ Buea, which is the mother chapter, could have a new executive in less than no time. On the ground leading the caretaker government are the desk editor of The Post Newspaper, Andrew Nsoseka, and Nkengafact Eucharia.
