Methodical, focused on the task, resolute, and determined — Paul BIYA has not changed.
The President of the Republic, H.E. Paul BIYA, is never stronger than when he is challenged.
Challenged by the blades of betrayal.
Challenged by the arrows of treachery.
Challenged by the fangs of dishonorable men — yesterday’s allies who have no regard for their given word.
In these moments, the Lion-Man brings out the big game.
By instructing the Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Republic, Minister of State Ferdinand NGOH NGOH, to lead discussions with the elected representatives of the Nation and government figures from each region, the National President of the CPDM has remained true to himself and to the political fundamentals that have defined his legend: humility, intuition, attentiveness, tact, and restraint.
This deliberate approach reflects his resolve to gather the Nation, take stock of its realities, immerse himself deeply in its heart, better understand expectations, accurately gauge concerns, and carefully weigh grievances. This will enable him to effectively steer his electoral campaign strategy for his re-election as Head of State, and also to prepare for critical national decisions within the Governing Order.
As Paul BIYA’s emissary — the Minister of State and Secretary-General of the Presidency of the Republic (MINSTATE SGPR) — embarks on the third day of these political and strategic consultations, the echoes from the first two days already affirm the President’s wisdom in initiating this engagement.
The enthusiasm of participants, their commitment, the assurances given, and the suggestions shared with the President — all expressed in a warm atmosphere and with absolute freedom of tone — are clear indicators of the great success of these initial exchanges.
President Paul BIYA has already received the first reports.
And the Lion-Man is already reflecting on them.
At the Unity Palace, the intensity of activity leaves no doubt:
The President of the Republic and his great political family, the CPDM, will, in a few days, enter the electoral campaign fully mobilized and powerfully battle-ready.
As for the challenges hurled at Paul BIYA by his former allies, it is highly likely that the current agitation — the theatrics of Issa TCHIROMA BAKARY and BELLO BOUBA MAIGARI, and the noise orchestrated by various opponents — will soon be swept away when the mighty machine of the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM), led by its candidate for the 2025 Presidential Election, H.E. Paul BIYA, sets itself in motion.
