Cameroon's current constitution makes out that should Mr. Paul Biya, heretofore, president of Cameroon drops dead suddenly, the president of the National Assembly, Mr. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril will become president for 45 days. During that time, Mr. Cavaye must conduct presidential elections. He is not authorised by the constitution to be a candidate. He cannot change the constitution.
The issue becomes relevant now that the rumour mill actually signed off Paul Biya recently. The issue becomes relevant because Mr. Biya's succession plan has always been in place. That program is anchored on the fact that the Northerners have the Number 2 Slot in the regime (Cavaye Yeguie) while the Anglophones and Bamilekes have the Number 3 position (Mafany Musonge). The Betis should again claim the presidency, except the northern merchants like Amadou Ali, Marafa Yaya, Sadou Hayatou, etc. say: Asha!

For the first time in a long time, I can boast of reading something constructive about Cameroon. Mr. Ntemfack has done a superb job in stating some of the problems of Cameroon. I am waiting for that day when God shall hear the prayers of Cameroonians and solve their problems the natural way. Thank you Mr. Ntemfack.
