Cardinal Tumi Comes Out: Says No Union Between Both Cameroons, Says Foumban Conference Were Wine Drinkers

In an interview granted at his residence today Cardinal Tumi reechoed that there has never been any marriage between British Cameroons and French Cameroon. They are living as concubines, the Cardinal said. The man of God who was ordained bishop in 1980 said : “They signed nothing at Foumban.

Prime Minister John Ngu Foncha (who was a former Catholic teacher) did not have the power to negotiate, because Cameroons was under the tutelage of France and England.

The French who supported Ahidjo, were at the conference. But England and the United Nations who were to validate the act, were not present. There has never been a document about what happened in Foumban. People went there to drink wine.
