For Dieudonné Essomba, the action of the Minister of Sports and Physical Education regarding the technical staff of the Cameroonian Indomitable Lions can be explained by the fact that he had no other choice.
On the Sunday show “Club d’élites”, Dieudonné Essomba emphasizes that the action of the Minister is justified because he directly bears the brunt of the President’s anger.
“We can perhaps criticize the method, but it’s hard to see how the minister could avoid encroaching upon the autonomy of the Fecafoot given President Paul Biya’s instructions.
It was very difficult because when Biya is unhappy, he doesn’t express his displeasure directly to the Fecafoot; he directs it towards the ministry,” explains Dieudonné Essomba. According to him, the real problem lies in “a lack of true understanding between the authorities of the Fecafoot, who made the mistake of being confrontational.”
According to Dieudonné Essomba, Minister Narcisse Mouelle Kombi could not just stand idly by, but, he adds, perhaps he went too far.
