“The CPDM in Akono is Resolutely Behind Paul Biya for 2025”
This day is special because it gives us another opportunity to exchange with our militants and educate them. It doesn’t suffice to call for the Head of State to pre- sent his candidacy anew, we are ready to give him the necessary support. We have taken the firm commitment to stand with President Biya and to bring to him all our votes. Militants here know ex- actly what to do, our constant reminders notwith- standing. We are sure and certain that come October 2025 they will be ready.
Daniel Hippolyte Bickoe, Section president
«Our candidate for 2025 in the Mefou and Akono south west section is called Paul Biya”
Paul Biya is a son of Akono. He acquired all his spiritual and intellectual training here. That’s why we term him a “son of the soil”. We have come out again in greater numbers to celebrate the man, our son who has given us everything. He is still ready to give us more, as we bring him the maximum and constant support. We are saying it loud and clear enoug, our candidate for 2025 in the Mefou and Akono south west section is called Paul Biya. All arrangements have been made, Akono will vote for the CPDM’s candidate again by the greatest majority.
