Franck Biya a few steps from Etoudi [RETRO]

The display of which it is the object in recent days does not go unnoticed

Paul Biya has been re-elected for the next 7 years at the helm of the state. But at age 85 and after 36 years of power, who would not think of the future with all the guarantees that this implies? There is the question. It has probably not escaped these days to different observers, the ride that revolves around the first son of Paul Biya, Franck Biya.

Usually hidden, living almost incognito, almost never talked about, the 47-year-old is more and more the tip of his nose in the limelight. We have the impression that we put it little by little in orbit.




On November 6, the importance given to him by his father during the oath did not escape the watchful eye of Cameroonians. Present with Paul Biya for the circumstance (which was normal), he especially enjoyed a certain proximity with it. On the red carpet, he was one step behind his father. When Paul Biya finishes swearing in the National Assembly, he will accompany him, always one step behind him, to the place of the review of the troops, before the President embarks in his limousine to leave.

When Paul Biya receives the honors of the presidential guard at the entrance of the palace of unity, Franck Biya will not be far from there. We will see him later when his father receives his attributes at the palace of the unit. More and more, and this, subtly and silently, he occupies the space. And it has been observed that the relations between Chantal Biya and himself have been pacified. Indeed, last November 06, we saw the two exchange with a lot of cheerfulness. Clear and crisp information It was then far from the image of October 7, 2018, when in the polling station where Paul Biya had to slip his ballot in the ballot box at the public school of Bastos, the first lady coldly thumbed Franck Biya. And precisely, that day, the son of Jeanne Irene Biya was around.




In his attitudes, one also notes more than before where he was not often put forward too much, a certain relaxation, and ease. He is more smiling, more relaxed, more jovial. In any case, this thrust into the limelight suggests that it would already be prepared. Paul Biya would he like to be inspired by his neighbors Gabonese and Equatorial Guinea where the sons of the president have either seized power or are in the process of doing so?

Even in the seraglio, Franck Biya’s orbiting does not go unnoticed. Some are skeptical, including some cadets, believing that if the president had wanted to prepare his son for high office, he would have at least officially inserted it at least in the government machine.

Others believe that it would be difficult to pass, Cameroon being neither Gabon nor Equatorial Guinea, let alone Togo. However, Franck Biya is for Paul Biya an absolute guarantee for the protection of loved ones if he ever decided to pass the hand. In addition, Paul Biya still having all the levers in hand, if he wanted to impose his son, despite the reluctance, it could pass. This is not the first time this debate has stirred the political scene in Cameroon. Except that, this time, in light of what we observe, things seem to be more precise.
