In his official statement, Njalla Quan Jr mentioned the issue of unpaid allowances, which he believes should be utilized for the development of football in the South West region. He expressed concern over the current state of football in Cameroon, which he believes is in its darkest phase despite the hopes and aspirations that emerged after the elections of December 11, 2022.
The former Vice President also lamented the lack of action and response from the President of FECAFOOT in addressing the challenges and issues he faced while serving in his position. He claimed to have been a victim of threats, discrimination, and inhumane treatment from employees, executives, and other stakeholders, particularly from the English-speaking community, which he represented at the highest level of football management in Cameroon.
Njalla Quan Jr further revealed that he had raised these concerns with the President of FECAFOOT on multiple occasions, but his pleas seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. He expressed disappointment in the president’s apparent disregard for the problems faced by him and the people he represented.
Additionally, he spoke out against the alleged fabrication of lies and misinformation about him, including accusations of disloyalty, secret meetings with the president’s enemies, and receiving large sums of money after the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, which he vehemently denied.
Moreover, Njalla Quan Jr raised concerns about the scandalous refereeing he witnessed in a match involving his team, Njalla Quan Sports Academy of Limbe. He hinted at potential foul play and manipulation in the match, possibly as a consequence of his disagreements with the FECAFOOT leadership.
In his concluding remarks, Njalla Quan Jr called for FIFA, CAF, and the Cameroonian government to intervene and investigate the issues plaguing football in Cameroon. He urged for transparency, accountability, and a restoration of dignity within the Cameroonian football ecosystem.
Despite the challenges and threats he anticipated for speaking out, Njalla Quan Jr vowed to continue his fight for the betterment of Cameroonian football and encouraged others not to succumb to corrupt practices for immediate gains.
As a final note, he asserted that should any harm come to him, evidence of the issues raised in his open letter to the president, along with additional information concerning the role of various individuals within the Cameroon Football Ecosystem, would be made public for appropriate judicial action.
In light of his resignation, the focus now turns to how the authorities will respond to the issues he raised, and what actions will be taken to address the concerns within the Cameroonian football landscape.
