The Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji, on Wednesday, March 5, 2024, upgraded the third class chieftaincy of Njinibi, Momo Divison in the North West region, to a second class chiefdom. The Palace will be in the Njinibi subdivision, according to a communique signed by the Minister. The Minister further added that the new second-class chiefdom shall have jurisdiction over six third-class chieftaincies. Chieftaincy crisis in the North West region has often led to bloodshed as families scramble over who will succeed a late chief. The administration has always been seen as a manipulator that fixes terms based on whom they want to collaborate with. The designation of chiefdoms by the government has also raised the issue of intervention in traditional matters which has made traditional rulers not adhere to their role as auxiliaries to the administration but have become political entities, bankrolled by the ruling party, CPDM.
