Steve Fah, a Cameroonian influencer and communicator described as close to the government, said that Bamileke people "n'ont pas de culture politique", a remark that drew a public response and a national argument about regional political identity.
The brief of 24 October 2026 reported that David Atemkeng, a journalist and editorialist, rejected the claim in a tribune published on 23 October 2026, writing that the assertion cannot be allowed to prosper and describing it as divisive and contemptuous. That brief recorded that Fah's remarks and the forum in which he made them were not set out in the tribune, and that no political party and no public official had responded as of 23 October 2026.
The reports of 24 October 2026 identify Fah as an influencer and communicator close to the government. They do not say whether he holds an official role, and they do not set out the setting in which he spoke. No political party, Bamileke association or public official is reported to have responded to the remark or to Atemkeng's tribune.
The exchange now has a named speaker and a named respondent, and it has moved from a signed opinion piece into a wider public argument. Whether parties, community associations or officials take a position remains open.
