Declaration of 93-Year-Old Paul Biya as President an Affront to Democracy – Timi Frank

Comrade Timi Frank, a former deputy national publicity secretary for the All Progressives Congress (APC), has denounced Paul Biya’s announcement as the winner of the most recent Cameroonian presidential election.

In a statement released in Abuja on Tuesday, Frank called the 93-year-old Biya’s announcement an insult to democracy and a blatant hoax that everyone who values freedom and justice must reject.

“The regime’s so-called results are a fabrication and a clear subversion of the people’s will,” he declared.

“The world cannot watch helplessly as Cameroonian democracy is choked in broad daylight.”

He bemoaned the fact that nonviolent demonstrators who took to the streets to protest the daylight robbery of their ballots were faced with huge arrests, violence, and shooting.

“Cameroonian security forces are killing innocent people just because they want their ballots to be counted.

“This slaughter needs to stop right now. International law requires that those who planned and executed these murders be held personally responsible.

“The United Nations (UN) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) must look into this and make sure that justice is served.”

He maintained that Issa Tchiroma Bakary, whose mandate represents the authentic will of the people, is still the real victor of the Cameroonian election.

He declared, “The international community must acknowledge this fact and exert pressure on Paul Biya to resign.”
