The former tenant of the Kondengui Principal Prison who regained his liberty on August 30th thanks to a presidential amnesty alongside Justice Ayah Paul Abine and fifty-two other Anglophones, is set to be preparing a ground-breaking thanks giving and a prayer service for those still in detention and the Anglophone community at large.

According to high-level sources and his close collaborators, Agbor Balla will not only use the thanks giving ceremony to be staged at the Presbyterian church Buea-station to thank God and all Anglophones for their support and encouragement, but he will equally make his first statement on the current situation in the former West Cameroons.

According to information that got into our newsroom, not only will the consortium president, Agbor Balla and his secretary, Dr. Fontem Neba, answer present at next week’s ceremony, this reporter gathered that plans are afoot to ferry in some of the former detainees from kumba, Limbe and Bamenda for the grand thanks giving and prayer ceremony.

It should be said that due to Agbor Balla’s decision to shun the press and stay mute after his release from jail, critics took to the social and traditional media to question his recent silence with some urging him to man up and take over the struggle which he started some eleven months ago. Not only did his silence cast doubts and uncertainty in the minds of Anglophones and the international community at large but it equally led to some tagging him as “ungrateful” saying he quickly forgot his people who stood beside him during tough times.

The highly awaited speech which will be coming at a crucial time in the Anglophone struggle, political analyst hold, will be very crucial as it could foil or fan the Anglophone crisis that has for months now taken an “ugly” turn. 

As Agbor Balla mounts the rostrum come September 24, he will be faced with a perennial tasks of issuing a statement which will not put any of the affected parties on the offensive, but he will equally have to make a statement which will reflect his stand, explain his next plan of action, and vision for the Anglophone struggle and Cameroon at large.
