Tributes from the Citizen Movement of Franckists for Peace and Unity of Cameroon to Pr. Joseph Owona :: Cameroon
It is with great dismay and deep sadness that the Franckist movement learned through the press of the death of Professor Joseph Owona.
A gray eminence of exceptional and universal class, the professor will have been a marked figure of academic excellence and the practice of law in Africa.
His multiple and valuable contributions to the evolution of the science of law, to African constitutionalisms to be more precise, have secreted ambrosia towards various generations of African and Cameroonian masters in particular. They will certainly continue to irrigate current and future eras through a timelessness of identity with great scholars.
Cameroon as a whole has lost a multidimensional man who devoted his entire career to the service of the nation. The icon of law who no longer belonged to himself, served as a worthy ambassador of the Republic in the scientific field.
There is no need here to return to his brilliant administrative career. We can just remember that the professor has left, the minister too, and the member of the constitutional council as well.
He leaves to prosperity and eternity, beyond his abundant production, a large number of prestigious heirs, from both academic circles and his own procreation.
It is therefore a baobab which although gone, will live eternally through the generations.
The Franckist Movement is deeply distressed by the void created by this departure, and expresses its most saddened condolences to the professor’s various families, particularly his biological family, in this painful circumstance.
