A former Nigerian politician has condemned the outcome of Cameroon’s recent presidential election, in which incumbent President Paul Biya was declared the winner. Comrade Timi Frank, who previously served as Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, called the announcement an affront to democracy and a blatant disregard for the will of the people.
The election results, released by Cameroonian authorities, have been met with widespread skepticism, with many alleging irregularities and fraud. Frank echoed these concerns, describing the declared results as a fabrication that subverts the electorate’s wishes. He urged the international community not to stand by while democracy in Cameroon is undermined.
The situation has deteriorated further as peaceful protesters who took to the streets to denounce the election outcome have faced violence, brutality and mass arrests. Frank lamented the killing of innocent Cameroonians by their own security forces, simply for demanding that their votes be counted. He called for an immediate end to the bloodshed and for those responsible to be held accountable under international law, urging the International Criminal Court and the United Nations to investigate and ensure justice.
Frank also asserted that the true winner of the election is Issa Tchiroma Bakary, whose mandate reflects the genuine will of the people. He appealed to the international community to recognize this fact and pressure President Biya to step down.
These developments have significant implications for Cameroon’s democratic process and for the region as a whole. The international community is watching closely, and the outcome remains uncertain. As Cameroonians continue to demand justice and accountability, a peaceful and democratic resolution to the crisis becomes increasingly urgent, with the United Nations and other international organizations poised to play a crucial role in facilitating a solution that respects the will of the people.
