How France’s Agent Tchiroma Replaces Kamto to Sell Fake Federation to a Gullible Ayuk Tabe and Chris Anu

Tchiroma replaces Kamto as France’s salesman, Agbor Balla seeks self-interest, Ayuk Tabe remains compromised under duress, and Chris Anu operates in the shadows.

The Return of an Old Trick

Federalism has suddenly re-emerged in the political theatre of Yaoundé. But for Ambazonians, the memory is sharp: this system was deliberately buried in 1972 when West Cameroon’s statehood, House of Chiefs, and democratic structures were erased. For decades, La République du Cameroun declared federalism dead and gone.

So why now?

The answer lies in deception. Federalism is not being revived to heal wounds, but to trap Ambazonians in a new cycle of assimilation—an old fraud dressed in new clothes.

Kamto Out, Tchiroma In

When Maurice Kamto was eliminated from the presidential race, the regime lost a figure who—while no friend of Ambazonia—was at least an independent force with popular appeal. Into the vacuum stepped Issa Tchiroma—Paul Biya’s propaganda chief and France’s long-time ally.

Unlike Kamto, Tchiroma is pliable and poses no threat to the regime. His new assignment is to repackage federalism as a “national conversation” and sell it as pragmatism, while in reality executing a French-designed project to assimilate Ambazonia.

Agbor Balla’s Calculations

Adding to this theatre is Barrister Agbor Balla, who has reportedly been meeting with Issa Tchiroma to secure a ministerial position in the proposed “federal” arrangement. For Ambazonians, the symbolism is telling: rather than defending the people’s right to sovereignty, some elites are angling for personal gain in a system designed to perpetuate colonial domination.

The National Dialogue Illusion

The so-called “Major National Dialogue” of 2019 is proof of the fraud. Instead of restoring West Cameroon’s full statehood, its Prime Minister, and House of Assembly, the regime merely reinstituted a watered-down House of Chiefs under the banner of decentralisation.

Where is the federation that was promised in 1961? Where is the genuine restoration of equality between East and West Cameroon? Nowhere. Everything is instead swallowed up under the vague ideology of Communal Liberalism.

And yet, gullible figures like Sisiku Ayuk Tabe are being used to endorse this suppository. He alone may swallow it—but Ambazonia will not.

Ayuk Tabe Behind Bars

Sisiku Ayuk Tabe, once a respected leader, has been drawn into this scheme from his prison cell. But a man under duress cannot make free or rational decisions. Prison walls strip away independence of thought, yet he continues to collaborate with regime operatives.

Greed and misplaced ambition have only deepened his predicament. Once celebrated, Ayuk Tabe now risks being remembered as a figure who, under pressure, lost his compass and lent legitimacy to a colonial trick.

Chris Anu in the Shadows

Chris Anu has also been linked to the federalist plot. Reports suggest he travelled to Southeast Asia to meet French operatives tied to Yaoundé. On his return, his luggage was reportedly searched—a sign of the sensitive nature of his trip.

Since then, he has lowered his public profile, pretending to be retired. But insiders say this is deliberate: a tactic to avoid scrutiny while continuing quiet collaboration with Ayuk Tabe’s team.

The Pattern of Coercion

The strategy is familiar. La République dismantles, denies, then repackages. Federalism was abolished in 1972, declared dead, then reintroduced decades later under the false banner of Communal Liberalism and “decentralisation.” Now, it is being pushed once again as a supposed compromise.

France writes the script, Tchiroma delivers the lines, and compromised Ambazonian figures are used as props to make the show believable.

Dr. Sako’s Clear Position

Against this backdrop, President Dr. Samuel Ikome Sako has made the Federal Government’s position unmistakable: only a negotiated settlement leading to Ambazonia’s sovereignty is acceptable. Nothing less.

“We are no longer brothers, but neighbors who cannot be trusted,” he has declared. “Sixty years is enough to determine character. Stop playing comic games.”

His words cut through the deception, reminding Ambazonians and the world that after decades of betrayal, there can be no return to a system designed to enslave.

Conclusion: The 1972 Fraud in New Packaging

The so-called “federal solution” is not reconciliation—it is coercion. Tchiroma replaces Kamto as France’s salesman, Agbor Balla seeks self-interest, Ayuk Tabe remains compromised under duress, and Chris Anu operates in the shadows.

Together, they serve as faces of a deception crafted in Yaoundé and Paris.

Ambazonians must not fall for the illusion. Federalism is the 1972 fraud replayed, with new actors and the same script. As Dr. Sako has emphasized, only a genuine negotiated settlement—recognizing Ambazonia’s sovereignty—can bring lasting peace.
