Supported by two men, the speaker of the National Assembly,
the Right Honourable Cavaye Yeguie Djibril has arrived Yaounde from his sick
bed in France in a bid to keep his job.
It was
about 8:30pm on Saturday, March 14, 2020 when the Air France flight carrying
the Speaker of the National Assembly landed at the Yaounde Nsimalen
International Airport.
Visibly
in very bad shape, Cavaye Yeguie Djibril whose body is now a colony of disease
was supported by two men to allow him take a seat on board a vehicle amid
ovation from some CPDM comedians to his Yaounde residence.
Cavaye
Djibril has been absent since the opening of the session on March 10th 2020 but could make his appearance in the
lower house on Monday the 16th of March for a solemn ceremony that could see
him reelected as speaker.
The
Biya acolyte has been a member of Cameroon’s National Assembly for 47 years and
was re-elected for a new five-year term in the recent twin poll. However, his
future as president of the National Assembly is shrouded in uncertainty.
He
reportedly left his hospital bed in France despite still being in a precarious
state of health to be present in Yaounde for the election of the National
Assembly bureau scheduled for next week.
It now
remains to be seen whether the Head of State, Paul Biya, National President of
the ruling CPDM party, will renew his confidence in him.
