The warning signs are everywhere. As the cost of living soars, governance collapses, and corruption deepens, the restlessness of the people grows louder and more dangerous. The next election is shaping up not as a routine ritual of deception, but as a reckoning.

As Cameroon lurches toward another election cycle, the air is not just thick with anticipation—it is poisoned with frustration and betrayal. Every seven years, the same politicians march back with the same rehearsed promises of change, progress, and prosperity. And every seven years, those promises are broken. The people are left with nothing but higher prices, deeper suffering, and leaders who feed fat while the nation starves.
The people of Cameroon are not fools. They have watched this cycle repeat like a bad play, performed by the same tired actors. But this time, something is different. The frustration is volcanic, the anger too deep to hide. Across the land, a single question echoes: “How much more can we take?”
The warning signs are everywhere. As the cost of living soars, governance collapses, and corruption deepens, the restlessness of the people grows louder and more dangerous. The next election is shaping up not as a routine ritual of deception, but as a reckoning. A moment when the power of the people may finally smash the power of those who cling to office like parasites.
This fight is not about changing faces or replacing one rotten party with another. It is about dismantling the culture of impunity, forcing accountability, and demanding leadership that serves instead of loots. It is about reminding the rulers that power never belonged to them—it has always belonged to the people.
It is here that the voice of Dr. Samuel Ikome Sako, President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, adds weight to the rising chorus. He has long argued that elections in Cameroon are little more than rituals of fraud, designed to prolong dictatorship under the mask of democracy. His consistent warning is that no true freedom can come from such a system—only from a people who rise, organize, and reclaim their destiny. His words serve as a sobering reminder that real change requires more than ballots; it requires courage, sacrifice, and a demand for genuine self-determination.
And so the burning question is: will this election be another charade, or will the people of Cameroon finally say enough? Will they once again be hypnotized by empty slogans, or will they rise and demand the dignity and future that has been stolen from them?
One thing is clear—the silence of the people cannot last forever.
As the election approaches, the mood of the nation sharpens into resolve. Cameroonians are tired of waiting. They are tired of begging. They are ready to seize back their power, to confront their leaders with the truth, and to demand a tomorrow that is not written in lies.
The Power of the People Shall Triumph
This is no mere slogan. It is the cry of a wounded people who have been mocked for too long. It is the anthem of a nation that refuses to die in silence. Power does not sit in Etoudi; it does not belong to the presidential palace or the corrupt cabals that guard it. Power lives in the streets, in the markets, in the villages, and in the hearts of the millions who suffer daily.
Cameroon now stands at a point of no return. The rulers may dismiss the cries of the people, but they do so at their own peril. For the people will demand their rights. They will reclaim their dignity. They will not allow their future to be sold again.
And when the ballots are cast and the dust settles, history will record one truth above all others: the power of the people shall triumph over the power of those in power.
