Editorial! “Biya Again for 2025 Presidential Elections” Are CPDM Barons Really with or in their Senses?

This year’s Sixth November 2021 in Cameroon which coincides with the day the President of the Republic of Cameroon, Paul Biya ascended to the thrown, has not only come and gone with the usual celebration, but it has left Cameroonians in total confusion.

Confusion in the sense that unimaginable “calls” characterized all the respective gatherings of CPDM militants and sympathizers all over the Republic to celebrate and hail Biya for his 39 years leadership rule over Cameroon this year.

“That he should take up another mandate and remain in power as their natural candidate for 2025 elections” was the chorus.

Motions of support to the Head of State Cum National President of the CPDM party in their usual arrangements called on the 88 years old Leader to stand unopposed or questioned for the upcoming Presidential Elections in 2025 and to remain in power.

What a surprising and embarrassing “call” as the celebration it must be noted,  brings so much to book about the head of state’s clink to power, his age, the people's ultimate desires and above all the political, economic and security challenges the country is facing.

The public and political pundits, In the face of these provoking circumstances, are taken aback by the  unrealistic Calls and are still wandering whether CPDM Barons are really in their Senses? Madness of our times!

Right thinking Cameroonians helpless in the face of what is happening are just still confused at the fate of Cameroon in the hands of such a questionable  leadership who will want to drive a dying horse to death. It is unfortunate  and gross intellectual dishonesty  from  politicians with vaulting Ambitions and greedy intentions.

Asking Biya to stay on at this point in time in the political history of Cameroon, at the cross road of multiple challenges does not speak well of any figure backing such a movement and that person does not mean well for Cameroonian, let’s have it right and squarely.

Holding grip to power and drunkenness is at the center of all the machination and it is not only taking Cameroon to clearer heavens but to the pit of hell. The people have swallowed too much of the mess until one cannot now really tell which least spark can cause what havoc at anytime. Only god knows what the CPDM politicians are cooking up for Cameroonians and hope they  will be able to face the aftermath. I rest my case.

But another school of thought have it on good footings that all the chantage is also to set the stage soon for another Presidential drama that will vindicate Biya in the eyes of Cameroonians and the world politically. All the calls it must be noted, is well intended to cause Biya to at one point in time turn down the offer. On the grounds that he is tired and will invest his son Frank Biya preferably. “le pays des grande ambitions”.
