PRESIDENT SAMUEL IKOME SAKO ADDRESSES THE NATION: sets a strategic roadmap to the last stretch of the freedom journey during an emergency Federal Draft on October 18th 2025

We are making some major strategic moves — which, for obvious reasons, I will not detail publicly. But with the necessary resources, this moment could mark a turning point in our struggle. We have entered a new season in our fight for freedom and dignity.

Fellow Ambazonians — participants,
ardent supporters, and
our financial warriors,

Thank you. Thank you for answering the call to this Emergency Reinforcement Federal Draft.

This is more an in-house meeting and a strategic session. I am deeply grateful to every one of you
— who have kept our finances and logistics afloat since the inception of this government in 2017. Your sacrifices brought us this far. Now, there is a bridge we must cross — like the Red Sea before the children of Israel. If we do not cross it, we will never reach the Promised Land.

Last year, I spoke to you in poetry; today, I speak to you in prose. We must regroup because the atmosphere has changed. After the LRC’s electoral charade, some things have become unmistakably clear: the handwriting is on the wall.

Our struggle is about to enter one of its most tumultuous phases. The turbulence ahead could
destabilize our movement if we continue to do business as usual. We must be proactive, strategic, and intuitive. This is no longer a marathon — we must now prepare for a sprint.

The central question before us is both straightforward and urgent: How prepared are we — structurally, financially, militarily, diplomatically, and in mobilization?

For more than a year, we have been building scenarios and contingency plans focused on our final exit strategies. These plans were not misplaced; they were designed for this moment. The present reality presents several inevitable components:

  • Unrest in La République du Cameroun (LRC) is likely. Its timing and duration remain uncertain, but its probability is real.
  • The political choices in
    LRC will revive dormant federalist voices and may confuse some lukewarm Ambazonians and our suffering people. When one has lived too long in the fire, even the frying pan begins to look like an option.
  • If the unrest persists, many will flee back to their abandoned communities — our people will return home to Ambazonia, saying, “It is better to die at home than to die in a no-man’s land.”
  • Our prisoners of war — more than 2,000 of our
    compatriots — may be released sooner rather than later. Whichever faction gains power through ELECAM may attempt to use this as a political stunt. Either way, our people will need organized care and reintegration. These realities demand two complementary actions:

A comprehensive emergency response fund and wartime contingency planning. Both must be established now.

Fellow countrymen and women I have long argued — and I repeat today — that planning is not an admission of abundance; it is the reaction of a survival mindset. If our friends approach us in this moment of distress and discover we have no response plan, they will offer sympathy and emojis — and move on.

But if we present vision, structure, and an executable plan, we
will attract real partnership and real support. We are working underground now for a final push — a push that could bring us across the finish line. Our hopes are high. We need:

  1. Finances

We must raise and steward funds immediately.
I call on us financial warriors to make the extra sacrifice.
Tough time is no excuse to delay planning.

  1. Organizational Overhaul:

Effective immediately, we
shall end the era of single-person departments, where individuals saw themselves as sole proprietors of their ministries.
Going forward, we will operate through Government Commissions — emphasizing collective
leadership with shared responsibility and accountability.
Departmental silos that paralyze decision-making will be dismantled.
We are entering the final phase of this struggle, and we must all run together in the same lane.

  1. Launch our Dialogue &
    Negotiation Commission:

I have established the Southern Cameroons Dialogue & Negotiation Commission, to be chaired by our statesman, Barrister Timothy Mbeseah.
This commission, in
collaboration with the Presidency, will prepare our negotiation positions, liaise with national and international partners where necessary, and advise on engagements involving national settlement discussions.

  1. Personnel and Transition:

I am pleased to announce that Comrade Steve Neba Fuh has accepted to serve as Vice President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.
He has served this movement since his days at the University of Buea.

I found him on the frontlines of thought leadership in 2017. Since then, he has served as Editor, Speechwriter, Special Envoy to classified missions, Peace Broker, my Executive
Assistant, and Secretary of State for Home Affairs and Community Mobilization.

In every assignment, he has proven himself reliable.
He was the one who recommended the late Vice President Ateh when I
considered that appointment in 2022. Today, destiny has caught up with him.

Welcome to my world, Steve. I assure you, you will soon share in the arrows thrown at me. They will start by saying “Steve is the
problem not the President.” When I refuse to remove you, the arrows will fly straight at me — it’s the same playbook.

Be aware and stand firm. It is no wonder that those want to cut down a tree would smile at the tree, while they look around to see the roots they must dig out.

Steve has served without seeking attention or reward. As he once told me:
“Some of us are here just to
see that the work is done — we don’t have to be mentioned.” I pray that his humility, loyalty, and ruggedness will help him serve our nation well. I thank the people of Mezam and Bafut for giving us our new Vice President.

I have seen blue and black in the hands of those I once trusted. So, Steve, I will not say I trust you — but let me say this: help me take us to Buea.

Dear Ambazonians,

Within the next 48 hours, I will release my New Government. There will be no new entrants and no exits in the Struggle. If anyone leaves the struggle because they are not in government or their position changed, it
simply means they were never in the struggle.
Nobody divorces a spouse merely because they lost a job.

Two departments have been collapsed and their functions reassigned to
relevant commissions and senior advisors to the President .

Our focus is strategic teamwork for optimal readiness. We are not weakening — we are becoming more capable. Work in Commissions brings institutional memory, resilience, and shared responsibility. Commissions ensure that no individual can hold government business hostage.

From this point forward, departmental lines will no longer divide us. The shortcomings of one leader will not paralyze the collective work.

Immediate Action & Financial Mobilization

Today, I call on all of us to launch the Federal Emergency Reinforcement Fund — a booster to support our ongoing and upcoming operations.
Our Ambazonia State Armed Forces (ASA) must
be ready to seize every opportunity that presents itself. We must mobilize resources for contingencies before the cries grow louder.

This fund will lighten the burden on those at the frontlines of territorial defense, diplomatic engagement, humanitarian aid, and logistics.
We are making some major strategic moves — which, for obvious reasons, I will not detail publicly. But with the necessary resources, this moment could mark a turning point in our struggle. We have entered a new season in our fight for freedom and dignity.

I wish we had the resources we had at the beginning of the year. The year is far spent, and our resources are low. But we must not sleep while the field we cultivated is ripe. If we fail to show up at harvest, we would have labored in vain.

Now is the time to redeem every draft and complete every pledge.
Anyone ready to fund a
specific aspect of this plan — Water Fufu for ASA, Medical Care for Returnees, Diplomatic Missions, or Emergency Relief — should join the growing list of financial warriors with a mission.

When you donate, please indicate the category of your choice:

  1. Diplomacy
  2. Water Fufu (ASA Feeding Program)
  3. Emergencies
  4. Draft Completion
    Fellow warriors, my call is
    urgent. The need is dire.
    I understand this is the end of the year, and many of us have already drafted or are completing our commitments.

If you have not yet redeemed your full draft, use this opportunity to do so. Every contribution counts and strengthens the foundation for our collective advance.

Fellow Ambazonians, we have a vision.
We have a team.
And we will act with urgency and discipline.
Planning is not an act of
pessimism — it is the practical expression of hope. Hope that we can do our best, under any condition, to protect our people, preserve our institutions, and secure a future for Ambazonia.

May God bless our people
and guide our steps.
I thank you — and I expect
that tonight we will send a strong message:
We shall finish strong and never chicken out in the face of a tough challenge.

Long live the Government of the Southern Cameroons in Exile.
Viva the Southern Cameroons Ambazonia.
God bless Ambaland.
