Affirming the constitutionality and legality of President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe led Interim Gov’t 0
Where Do Leaders Derive Their Powers & Authority From?
Power is derived from a higher authority. For Monarchs it is derived from God; for Elected Leaders & Officials it is either derived from the people by direct universal suffrage or by indirect universal suffrage through a Constituent Assembly (mostly referred to as an electoral college).
The aim of this write up is to clarify to all Ambazonians the legality and constitutionality of the President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe led Interim Government (IG).
The Ambazonia Federal Constitution
At the 4th Conclave of November 2017, the Conclave representatives who where surely constituted, agreed in the Conclave Resolutions to submit the Constitution to Ambazonians for approval.
While the Constitution was pending approval from the Ambazonian people, the governing structures consisted of the following;
1) The Restoration Council:
This body was to act as a legislative body to exercise oversight on the IG. However this body has never been fully and duely constituted, therefore rendering it’s functionality and decisions null and void. In Constitutional Law the lack of due process invalidates and renders a decision null and void.
It is for this reason that the recent communique issued on 14th May by the Chairman of the Restoration Council Comrade Elvis Kometa, accusing President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe of attempting to destabilise the IG, is null and void.
The Restoration Council has acted ultra vires as not being properly constituted renders all decisions and resolutions emanating from it null and void.
2) The Ambazonia Constitution:
The Ambazonia Constitution as deliberated upon at the 4th Conclave is still pending approval from the people of Ambazonia as stipulated in the Conclave Resolutions, therefore no power or authority can be derived from it. In his 17 months in office, Former Acting President, Sako Ikome Samuel failed in his duties and responsibilities either by omission or commission to ensure the Constitution was approved by the Ambazonian people.
The Unconstituted Restoration Council, in 17 months also failed in its duties to hold Former Acting President Sako Ikome Samuel to ensure the approval of the most fundamental law and document of the nation which is the Constitution.
An Unconstituted Restoration Council & An Unenforceable Constitution
Going by Revolutionary precedent, and with an Unconstituted Restoration Council & an unenforceable Constitution what therefore is the Constitutional and Legally binding authority?
3) The Constituent Assembly of The 4th Conclave:
With the Resoration Council having failed to Constitutionally and Legally constitute it’s self therefore rendering all its decisions null and void.
With the Former Acting President, Samuel Ikome Sako having failed to submitt the Constitution for approval by the Ambazonia people, leaving the Constitution unenforceable.
The Resolutions of the 4th Conclave are therefore the only Constitutional & Legally binding documents which the President derives his powers from until such time when;
1) The Restoration Council is properly & duely constituted.
2) The Constitution is approved by the Ambazonian people.
That said, President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe acted within the law, as Resolution Number 13 of 1st November 2017 created the Interim Government of The Federal Republic of Ambazonia and elected Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe as President.
Also Resolution Number 14 of 1st November 2017 authorised President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe to constitute a cabinet, which he Constitutionally did on 24th November 2017.
It is therefore from Resolution Number 14 above which President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe issued his Press Statement on 02nd May 2019 recalling Former Acting President Sako Ikome Samuel from his duties as Acting President.
Summary
Following Constitutionality, Legality and Revolutionary Precedent, President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe
has acted within Revolutionary Laws. He is therefore the Legitimate President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia and all his appointed cabinet; including Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs Sako Ikome Samuel.
Ambazonians must therefore not be deceived by any group of people calling themselves a Restoration Council or Acting President as both are Unconstitutional and Illegitimate.
The Ambazonia Restoration Forces have already recognised the Constitutional and Legitimate President Sissuku Julius Ayuk Tabe and have clearly stated in their press statement of 03rd May 2019, they will uphold Constitutionality and Legality.

Why would Francophones burn almost 250 Anglophone villages and are still burning more yet pretending to call for disarmament 0
Southern Cameroonians, I shall never stop reminding us, Southern Cameroonians what would happen should we surrender. Mind you that our boys called Amba boys have killed many French Cameroonians. Those killed are fathers, husbands, wives, mothers, uncles, etc to French Cameroon citizens. If we surrender, French Cameroon will say “Never Again”. How will never again be accomplished: they will make sure not one Southern Cameroonian on GZ shall live again to invoke this scene in the future.
If the media is telling lies now, it would not need to tell any lie because there will be no need. The would have been fed up with people who were at the verge of getting their freedom but gave it up for stupidity or cowardice. Let me cite a true story: a Nigerian couple in the US, broke off; after some time the woman traveled to Nigeria. On her return, she called her mother requesting to be picked up at the airport; the mother who had reconciled with her son-in-law, sent the son-in-law to pick up the daughter who was the son-in-law estranged wife. The son-in-law went and picked up the ex-wife but instead of taking her to her home, he took her to his home and slaughtered her. I pray Southern Cameroonians don’t make that mistake. It would be the worst mistake ever made by a group of people.
French Cameroon soldiers are still killing Southern Cameroonians civilians as I write. If people can go to a hospital and drag a wounded figher, pick up a baby and throw in a boiling pot of oil, break doors, meet an old woman and shoot her to kill her, etc those are not the type of people you want to reconcile and want to leave with them. God forbid, we accept to return to live with them, there will be total and complete Genocide! In the next two decades, there will be no Southern Cameroonian and no more English language in Cameroon. These actions will be silently implemented.
No Southern Cameroonian in diaspora would ever step their foot in the Republic of Cameoon. Some people will classify me as a hard liner. Tell me if I am wrong, why would they burn almost 250 villages and are still burning more yet pretending to call for disarmament. Their soldiers parading the villages, towns and cities well armed to shoot and kill? Federalists and unionists shall not be spared in the massacre. Anything Southern Cameroon will be eliminated and French Cameroonians come over and take the land. After all, they have always considered us Biafrans who came and took their land. This struggle must be executed to its logical end – Restoration of Southern Cameroon independence. NO MORE NO LESS.
