The SDF deputy came out of his reserve.
Among the most anticipated reactions after the death of Ni John Fru Ndi, there was his own. Jean Michel NINCTHEU did not need to be asked.
On his Facebook account, the deputy SDF from Wouri Est to Douala said: “Fru Ndi was a great man despite his serious mistakes in recent years! RIP”.
