Fellow Cameroonians, ladies and gentle men, thank you very much for the confidence you bestowed on me to put me into this prestigious post of head of state to paddle the affairs of this our beloved Nation Cameroon for a day. As I told you during my campaign, I am not a politician who thinks only of the next election and will promise to build bridges where there are no rivers. Rather, I am a statesman who thinks of the next generation and that the bridges we cross before reaching them are on rivers that do not exist. As we must have noticed, he who did not come in through the ballot box is likely not to be shown the exit door through a ballot box.
Fellow Cameroonians, this is not the time to be talking again. Somewhat, it is time for action for the previous government was really a gravel in our shoes. First and fore most before taking over this prestigious office, I will like to declare my assets. This will form a baseline for any evaluation upon my leaving the office to ensure that I did not take any thing to improve the livelihoods of average Cameroonian wallowing in misery for personal use. My body guards are all the citizens of Cameroon for I will be with them in times of joy and sorrow and therefore need no personal body guards who will prevent me from reaching my people. My Slogan "Cameroon for Patriotic Cameroonians if truly we wish to re-brand Cameroon" is my guiding principle.
To say there is any sector in Cameroon which is corruption free is like looking for a new born in a maternity ward. For this reason, I have dissolved the cabinet, the parliament and sack all the people in posts of responsibility who have persistently lined their pockets with hard earned tax payers' money. Most of them are occupying these posts on tribal lines/ fake political affiliations and are too old to climb the staircases leading into their offices. They are too old and create wars for those who are too young to die. There are vibrant and more qualified patriotic Cameroonians who are roaming the streets and can better serve in these posts. All activities of political parties have equally been banned all over the National territory.
The history of our beloved country Cameroon has been distorted and any country based on falsehood can not stand on its own and the facts must be made known to all. Those without history have no future. One of the greatest problems my regime has to tackle is that of rising unemployment especially among the youths who are graduates of the Universities and are roaming the streets and thus their future is fuzzy. They live on the falsehood that they are the leaders of tomorrow and why not today? Employment, they say, is your personal talents and the environment in which you are living. This must not be misquoted to substantiate juvenile delinquency. I am tackling this problem right from the roots and that is changing the school curriculum to make our graduates better suit the job market in which they find themselves for the previous has failed us.
Fellow Cameroonians, ladies and gentle men, it is 2.00PM by my watch and a perfect census of all Cameroonians will be done and the results made known by 3.00pm. This will be a pave-stone for any credible election to be organized as Cameroonians have the right to know how many they are and those who are eligible to vote and to be voted for. Early release of these census results will not give room for many doubts as some people who were previously counted might have passed on to the world beyond if such results are delayed for long. Also this will also reduce the chances of new births which might alter the census results significantly thus further putting its credibility to question.
I am setting up with immediate effect an Independent Electoral committee of ten members who will be drawn from the ten regions of Cameroon and since all activities of political parties within the National territory have been banned, it is obvious that this people will be able to do their job without any fear or favors. This committee will have the mandate to organize credible elections and results known before 5.00 pm since counting votes in the night using candles and lanterns will lead to irregularities. I will personally chair this committee but I am sorry to say that I will not be a candidate for the up coming presidential elections since incumbent presidents especially in Africa are very difficult to be defeated through the ballot box because of the rigging machinery they have put in place. I will not be part of that mess and as I told you in my campaign speech, I have not changed my mind. Neither will I change the National Constitution on which the future of the country relies for personal gains. How ever, if it is imperative that it must be changed, a referendum must be organized.
Independent candidates will have to bid for the post of the presidency and their manifestos and charisma will be used by Cameroonians of good will to judge who can best deliver the goods. Their credentials will be thoroughly scrutinized by the committee. Remember that you can not deliver the goods if your heart is heavier than the load and you can not blindfold a man and expect him to ferry you across a river. Immediately the presidential election results are proclaimed by 6.30 PM, I will supervise the installation of the new president into office and the Committee dissolved and I have to step down and give way to this new regime. Early proclamation of such results will give room for no manipulations and thus the credibility will not be questionable. This new government will use the remaining part of the day to put in place structures and institutions which will pave the way for a better Cameroon tomorrow. Do not use your people to build your good works. Use your good works to build your people.
