Adolph Lele Lafrique, governor of
the North West
region may receive his first baptism of fire this January. Many have been
wondering whether, like his predecessor, he would avoid the presentation of New
Year wishes to him. Abakar Ahamat had been criticized for belittling the Head
of State who received New Year wishes from his peers. Until he left for
Ngaoundere in same capacity, New Year wishes were not presented in North West.
Some of the bad
habits of Governor Abakar a Moslem like the banning of prayers, had since been
gnawed by Governor Lele Lafrique. Expectations are high, to see whether the
month of January would expire, without New Year wishes presented to Governor
Lele.
This is an
occasion for stake-holders to showcase their prowess, hobnob with the Chief
executive and share pleasantries with others. It began at the unity palace last
January 3, 2013, extended to the national assembly. The Prime Minister is
expected to relay; then his ministers, governor…
Presentation of
New Year wishes create opportunities to many. It even ensures a leveler for the
chief executive to meet his peers. Such occasions are rare; reason why most
officials have handshakes with the Head of State just at such occasions.
Following
Abakar’s embargo in NW, other services could not go ahead to present New Year
wishes to their boss. North West
region had thus been eclipsed by a social phenomenon, which even the presidency
lays great emphasis to.
Abakar’s
predecessor, Koumpa Isa had fun at one of such events. When he was introduced
to the Short People Association, the then North West Governor laughed out for the type
of persons he saw parading as members of the association.
Expectations
are high that Lele Lafrique would not pulsate to the dictum that administration
is continuous, to outlaw the presentation of New Year wishes to him.
