Abel Elimby Lobe:

Political Critic Prays Biya to Stay On Until 2025
Former SDF councilor for Douala IV, Abel Elimby Lobe, has prayed God to guide and protect President Paul Biya to be able to carry on his duties as head of state, until 2025 when his mandate expires.
        Elimby Lobe made the shocking declaration during the talk show program, Canal Presse, on Canal 2 television, on Sunday 12 January 2020.
    Ruminating on President Biya’s stewardship at the helm of the state and especially his foreign policy, Elimby said “being an adversary of the Biya regime, I think that Biya has stayed long enough in power and it is time he retired. But I am comforted by the fact that he has maintained Cameroon within the diplomatic traditions of the founding fathers; the policy of non-alignment.”
    He blamed Biya’s continued stay in power on the inability of the opposition to put their act together and oust the President from the Etoudi Palace.
    “All those passing around and marching up and down claiming to be opposing Biya – the Kamtos going about here and there, cannot bring down Biya… They will confront us on their path, because we shall help and protect President Biya to stay on because he is there grace to our incompetence in the opposition, our incapacity to elaborate coherent and efficient strategies to oust him. Instead of gathering ourselves as the sovereign people of Cameroon to oust Biya, we deceive ourselves that the USA would help us to do so. It’s unfortunate,” regrets Elimbi Lobe, who used the occasion to criticize the visit to the USA of the CRM president, Maurice Kamto.

    “Let Kamto go and be gallivanting about in the USA is he is already doing… It would not help him to remove Biya from power. We are going to help the president to stay on until 2025, that is, if God would permit that he lives up to that time,” prays Elimbi Lobe, who at once castigated those war-mongers passing around for opposition leaders.
    “There are some people in the opposition who are so war-like in their utterances; they think they can align Cameroon behind this or that block.”
    Elimby Lobe is candidate for parliamentary elections under an opposition party.

According to the firebrand and talkative former militant of the SDF, Paul Biya is evidently tired and fatigued, but should be helped by Cameroonians to stay on till 2025 because he won the 2018 elections which granted him another 7 years in office.
