To stay in political power is “he who can and not he who wants”

These were the declarations from the dictator Paul biya, who is one of the longest serving dictators in Africa, who seconds as the imposed president of the republic of Cameroon, during a press conference in the unity palace, in honour of the French president’s six hours stop to Cameroon.

The French president visited Angola and Benin and then made a stop in Cameroon while en route to Paris-France. This is not qualified as a visit but a political and diplomatic stop.

President Paul BIYA might think that, he and his gang of gerontocrats are politically dribbling Cameroonians and the international community, as with regards to the questions that surrounds his legitimacy and prolonged dictatorial stay at the helm of the Cameroonian polity.

The dictator Paul BIYA believes that, the French and the international community are not well grounded with the various dictatorial mechanisms that he has used and is continuously using in monopolizing and regulating every aspect of the public and private behaviours of Cameroonians through his stable and constitutional authoritarian mode of governance.

The international community and especially the French know very well that, Paul BIYA has suffocated democratic political life and activity in Cameroon despite their calculated political laissez faire strategy on him.

To stay in political power is he who can be able to confiscate the constitutional legal authority of an entire nation, hence reducing his real opponents to no political rightfulness and upgrading his pseudo members of the opposition to be ridiculed and mismanaged political clowns and as of such, reducing the influence of a genuine political alternative in our fatherland.

To stay in political power is he who can use a twisted electoral institutional mechanism which he qualifies to be elecam, in rigging and fragilizing electoral results and activities in his cpdm’s authoritarian interest, and in the fallacious and propagandized name of a competitive democracy.

To stay in political power is he who can get down on his knees to lobby the French president to pay him a politically ridiculed stopover of some very meager hours in Cameroon and as of such, in the political and entrepreneurial interest of the French republic.

He who can stay in political power is a dictator who has allowed his fellow citizens to be plunged into abject societal sufferings, political persecutions, intimidation, poverty, severe recession and unemployment and so on [………].

He who can stay in political power is an authoritarianist who pretentiously declared during the said press conference that, he won the Presidential electioneering process in which he defeated his pseudo opposition members and that, human rights and freedom of expression exist in a Cameroon where he has fallaciously introduced a liberal democratic behaviour.

He who can stay in political power is what I will qualify as a dictatorial Rechtsstaat who transforms authoritarianism to a full scale liberal democracy without necessarily and mechanically going through the various democratization processes that should land a respectable liberal democratic society.

He who can stay in political power pretends that, he is not forcefully exercising Presidential power in Cameroon for the past three decades and a half, when the military smashes its citizens during manifestations against his prolonged Presidential status that has become obsolete in its governmental machinery structure, as comparable to the one of Mussolini of Italy and Mao Zedong of early china.

He who can stay in political power pretends to revendicate the political ingredients, instruments, elements and characteristics that are found in a liberal democracy to must have been opportuned in Cameroon through his democratic efforts. Absolute fallacy because, in Cameroon, it is magical to witness that, citizens and individual rights are entrenched through the fundamental principles/constitution. The said fundamental principles in their own status have been constantly suffering from dictatorial and sophisticated unfounded and undemocratic tailoring.

He who can stay in political power is he who has continuously used a gerontocratic dilapidated mechanism in twisting the futures of Cameroonians and their fatherland’s democracy, through the principles and values of nepotism, discrimination, corruption, thievery, human rights abuses, inertia, incompetence, fallacious propaganda, repression, arbitrary arrest and so on [...].

He who can stay in political power is he who has never accepted that, free and fair competitive elections be organized in Cameroon, has constantly rejected the principles of the separation of powers between government machinery, the permanent rejection of the principles of the rule of law, the denial of the respect of human and civil political rights and liberties of/for all Cameroonian citizenry.

The pretentious he who can stay in political power is he who has never defined the so called democratic character of the state in which he purports to must have conjured its democracy through its constitutional mechanism that he has continuously manipulated and maneuvered.

He, who can stay in political power for life, has never distinguished between the separations of power within the government machinery, as the judiciary is directly influenced by the executive, the legislature constantly on the command of the executive and checks and balances being baffled and confiscated by the executive.

President Paul biya who is he who can stay in political power for life, has considered himself to be the rechtsstaat in his own right whereby, the notion and principle of the rule of law has no legitimacy, in which the Cameroonian government could derive its authority from, in the democratic interest of all Cameroonians.

The French president and his closest allies only considered president Paul BIYA in the wake of his “stay in political power is he who can and not he who wants”, to be a suffoscatedly and sophisticatedly ridiculed presidentialist, who is an abjectly dictatorial, greedy and a cruel human being, who has no sentiments of pity for the sufferings that he who can stay in political power for life has inflicted on his citizens.

The French presidential authority came to Cameroon to promote and protect their international relations and diplomatic and entrepreneurial interests, as when the political gears would be well dieseled, the so called new qualification of “stay in political power is he who can and not he who wants”, be interpreted as:

“Stay in political power dictatorially and for three decades and more is detrimental and obnoxious to humanity, and especially to Cameroonians, which merits a disastrous political grounding.
