A large crowd gathered this Wednesday, May 17, at the municipal stadium of Mokolo, which turned out to be small to contain all these beautiful people. From memory, the event is as unprecedented as it is historic. This is, a very rare fact, what is known as “the appeal of the youth of the Far North for the candidacy of Paul Biya in 2025”. “If the past had accustomed us to this type of political masses pompously baptized “appeals of the people” organized by some apparatchiks of the confining party, in passing, young people have ceremonial roles; Mokolo’s appeal is both unprecedented and historic in the sense that it emanates from young people themselves. And, whatever people say, the appeal of the youth of the Far North reflects the mobilization capacity of one man: the young Minister of Public Health Manaouda Malachie », Analyzed a teacher from the University of Maroua, present at the rally.

It is a question here of supporting a Great Man, of giving force to his works and his ideas for Cameroon which he knew how to maintain in peace, one and indivisible, strong and respected on the international scene; this great man, you guessed it, is his Excellency Paul Biya “, said the Minsanté.
In the process, Jean Sawalda, Rdpc activist and member of the organizing committee of the event clarified the purpose of the meeting: ” It is for us to reassure the President of the Republic that he is and remains the best bet for the future of Cameroon at a time when a certain opinion maintains the dark idea of an unconstitutional succession, we remain focused on our champ. He and he alone is the guarantee for the stability and development of our country. And so, if he were to decide on a renewal of his mandate with the Cameroonian people, we want to tell him today in a word as in a thousand that it is still him and no one else our candidate, that is why we initiated this call “, declares In addition to the distinguished guests from the ranks of the Rdpc, the Appeal of the Youth of the Far North has attracted thousands of young people from other political parties and other associations who have joined their voices in the chorus. In good place of this popular ceremony which crystallized all the attention in the region, it is that, independently of the political edges, of religious obediences or of geographical affiliation, the young people, in their vast majoritý found themselves to carry their choice for 2025 on Paul Biya, 90 years old, with 40 years without interruption of magisterium. But the Mokolo gathering was not only reserved for young people from the Far North, let alone those from the Far North; because we saw in the front row, parliamentarians, traditional leaders, local elected officials, academics, party dignitaries, from all over the country Mrs. Aminatou Ahidjo.

The regional president of the National Youth Council of the Far North will say that the appeal of the youth of the Far North is a legitimate response to a certain opinion which quickly fueled the debate on the candidacy or no of Paul Biya in 2025.
And for Parfait Viamna Mininamou, the response of the youth of the Far North is clear and without appeal: total adherence to the policy of renewal embodied by Paul Biya. Through banners and other signs, messages calling for the candidacy of Paul Biya were featured. Just like the various speakers who succeeded each other on the podium.
