He appealed to residents to prioritize “the future of Cameroon in general, and the Adamawa region in particular,” stressing the importance of unity and responsibility during this sensitive political period.

In the same communiqué, Governor Boukar announced a major working session to be held on October 22 at the Regional Council’s main hall.

The statement comes amid ongoing uncertainty nationwide, as the country awaits the Constitutional Council’s final validation of election results.
