Welcome to the People’s House – The Interim House of Representatives.
Thank you for joining the people of Ambazonia through their representatives this early morning for a working joint session. It is too early for some of you in the far West Coast of North America. I could be apologizing for waking you up too early, but I will not. Why? On this one day (alone) you are experiencing what our people are experiencing daily, weekly, monthly for over the last 5 years. Uncertainty of their wellbeing, disruption of their night sleep at the sound of bullets or gunshot exchanges. May, this disruption that you had this morning or night, motivate, and renew your commitment to the struggle with a better vision /purpose for Ambazonia restoring its sovereignty.
We the people of Ambazonia, a few weeks ago came out in our numbers for the Ambazonia Stakeholders Strategic Conference II, in Washington DC March 10th – 13th 2022. We the people of Ambazonia agreed by voting massively for certain Resolutions. Some which will help amend our Interim Constitution. We did not seal those Resolutions in an envelope and put it a Safe Deposit Box. These Resolutions were intended, to direct, guide, enhance, improve and establish rules, laws and procedures to prosecute our Struggle, as a people with a democratic heritage, (which our parents enjoyed from 1954 to 1968).
We took the baton, and the Interim House of Representatives is evidence of that. That creation which we came out from ASSC II, attested to the fact that we have our eyes set on getting to Buea; with our people like any other nation seeking and standing for self-governance; free from the incumbrances from unelected, imposed taskmasters, lording it over us. These “imposed fake leaders” (as I may put in quotes), have taken different cloaks, at time different times or even today; some are called religious leaders, traditional leaders, civil society leaders and groups leaders etc. as the case may be. The slave master, LRC and even France have not stopped pushing “their” agenda, on Ambazonia, through such unscrupulous leaders whom they have created and imposed on us.
We the people’s representatives in the IHR, unanimously this morning voted to reject any form of oppression directly or indirectly from France /LRC. And we did vote unanimously this morning that, we are going to work with every arm of government to put out an official statement, to let the international community know that we are not going to accept any back door deals that have been illegally made by either LRC or France or any other international broker. Such treaties signed would not be imposed on us. They will not be binding on us, on the people of Ambazonia today and in the future. We state here that any unmandated authority /treaties by those who are picking up crumbs from the slave master’s plate is non-binding on us.
Mr. President, the people’s Interim House of Representatives, invited you here to make haste, in bringing and delivering the ASSC II Resolutions and we thank you for coming. We the People’s Reps say... thank you for honoring this invitation and everyone here present, we say thank you. As you may have noted or noticed, we the people of Ambazonia left ASSC II with a renewed zeal and commitment to push the struggle to the ultimate end- total sovereignty for the people of Ambazonia. This was very evident, because it took no time and the IHR was created, constituted and sworn into office. One thing that is very clear is that, this IHR has started working and will work on the Resolutions, and we will do so constitutionally. And it is actually evident, because we are here in a Joint Session, which is stated in our Interim Constitution Article 2(c), page 25; The Responsiveness, Co-operative government and accountability. That subtitle we are fulfilling it by having this Joint Session today.
Thank you all, the chairs of LGAs and Counties, for your presence gives us joy, because you ensure that Home Front, is engaged, and hot. We thank you very much. Yes, we’ve had some casualties, yesterday we experienced one of those. But thank you, because even as we weep, we cry, we still pickup and we move on. We do not let the blood of those fallen go to waste. We let it pave the streets and the road to Buea. Thank you all LGA and County chairs.
Home Front, we want to thank you, and we want to let you know your voices are heard loud and clear. Your pain and suffering we carry deeply in our hearts, and it presses our souls daily. I will encourage you at the Home Front to stand strong, be vigilant with surroundings and don’t take things for granted. We will one of these days, and pretty soon join you all at Home Front to have a great celebration in Buea. No more physical separation, but we are ready to sing the loud song which states; praise the God our Father for giving us a nation, a joy forevermore. That we want to sing as we join you at the foot of the Buea mountain.
We the people stand to receive our Resolutions from you Mr. president. We assigned our IHR to accept these on our behalf. We encourage all arms and tiers of government to help us implement these Resolutions quickly. In doing so, we will hasten our steps to Buea.
We the people of Ambazonia, have seen and received your cabinet nominees via the IHR. We shall work quickly, to provide you with the best team, for effective running of the IG of the FRA. Our reps shall vet, vouch, and provide the appropriate recommendations as stipulated in the IC.
No matter how good our IG runs in diaspora, we long to see you all take offices in Buea soon. The best governance would be in Buea. The best is not necessary the easiest. The best is rooted in our freedom. This free Ambazonia, we pray, which God has blessed us with, we pray that you all join us at Home Front pretty soon.
To those citizens of Ambazonia at Home Front, those internally displaced, those in prisons, those from ground one all the way to ground infinity, please stay alive, be strong, D-day of Freedom will soon be here.
As mentioned, earlier our fallen heroes your blood is not in vain. The tears of loved ones mingled with your blood is paving and fast paving the way to Buea. You paid THE ultimate prize, and you shall never be forgotten.
Our ARFs, we salute you. We are here because you are there. I will say again; We are here because you are there. We will also get there, because you are there. So, stand your ground. stay at your post and have a singular vision, and be focused. We shall soon arrive Buea and join you there.
To our parents, brothers, sisters, children: I will encourage and we would encourage you to support the ARFs. They are your shield against LRC and any other hawks or warlords that are on the ground. Hold on, we are soon coming home. The fruit of freedom is sweeter, than the momentary pain that you are experiencing. God bless you all too.
God Bless Ambazonia;
Short live the Struggle;
Long Live the FRA.
Delivered On April 9, 2022 by the Speaker of the House, Dr. Winnie Lobati.
