Nico Halle, Nkom Ngwanyalla, Epie Ngome Victor, Senator Matute and others frowned at the Fonki regime which they said is “arrogant, unaccountable, opaque, and worldly”.
Moreso, they alleged that the outgoing Moderator, Rt. Rev. Dr Fonki Samuel Forba was infringing into the electoral process through a list of nominees he was imposing on pastors. The Presbyterian elites regretted that, pastors “have been victimized through punitive deployment, just for daring to express an opinion different from yours(moderator)”.
It is on these premises that the letter urged Moderator Fonki to resign and “save what is left”. Preceding audit by an external body. They also called for a complete overhaul of the electoral process.
