The morthan three million voters who renewed confidence in Mr. Paul Biya as President of the Republic are very satisfied to see that Biya was keeping to his promise after winning the election.

Chairman Ni John Furu Ndi Accepts results of Presidential Election

The chairman of the largest opposition party in Cameroon Ni John Furu Ndi, has once more surprised some of his millitants by acknowledging the outcome of the october 9th presidential election which incombent president Paul biya won with a land slide victory. Many of his millitants were not surprised by Furu Ndi's announcement because this is not the first time he is taking a decisions that is contrary to actions. Only this year, Mr John has taken many contradictory decisions. He began by refusing to recognise the composition of Elections Cameroon (ELECAM) insisting that its members were not neutral. Then he called on his millitants not to register for the presidential election. He also vowed not to stand for the election. His millitants and others were taken aback when Mr. Furu sudenly took a U-turn to stand for the election which was still organised by ELECAM calling on his millitants to register massively.
Such attitudes of Mr. John have led to suspicion by his millitants that he might have been bought over by the ruling party and its candidate Mr. Paul Biya. In any case, Mr. John has proven that he is far from being qualified to become a future president of the Republic.

Massive Recruitment of jobless youths continue in Cameroon

Organisating the presidential election did not disturb the determination of government to employ thousands of jobless cameroonians. The recruitment continued and is still going on after the publication of the election results.
With incombent Paul Biya wining land slide, this is the time to focus, morethan ever, on job creation through public investment and support to small and medium size enterprises. Time for economic revival.
Many people who wanted their uncles and inlaws to take power voted for them; a vast majority voted for development.
No matter who you voted for, this is the time for you to join hands in nation building. Voting was through secret balloting and who you vote or did not vote does not show on your face. Come let's build Cameroon.
