In the lead up to the polls, other candidates pulled out, leaving Njoya and Eto’o as the favourites.
Eto’o pledged to among other things boost Fecofa covers.
“I am running for this position in order to attract external funding and not reduce the already meagre revenues with unnecessary burdens,” said Eto’o.
