The son of deceased Cameroonian opposition figure Anicet Ekane has called for unity at his father's funeral scheduled for May 9, 2026, in Bomono Gare, rebuking the Manidem political party's decision to boycott the event. Muna Ekane declared that 'all people of change are expected' and urged supporters not to use the funeral as a venue for settling political scores, even as the opposition remains divided over whether participation signals alignment with the ruling RDPC regime.
