WHAT IF AKERE MUNA CARRIES THE DAY ON OCTOBER 12
A Classic Anglo-Saxon gentleman, principled, courageous, with an impeccable public record… The recent declarations of Akere Muna simply reinforce the extraordinary esteem the people hold for this gentleman. In 2018, Akere demonstrated his unparalleled love for this country by sacrificing his candidacy for that of Professor Kamto….A selfless political gesture of immeasurable significance hardly found in this political arena infested with nauseous ego and narcissistic ambitions. Fast forward 7 years….and in 2025, Akere again is at the vanguard of a coalition which is so obvious to all as the most credible approach to unseating a dictatorship of the most violent antecedents in the 21st century. Contesting on the platform of the United Party, Akere emphatically refuses to be used as a toy by the former. Prof Nkou Mvondo, leader of the Univers party, has been ranting to whosoever bothers to listen to him that Akere will not be permitted to be part of any coalition to unseat his tribesman, Paul Biya. A principled gentleman with a track record of undented independence, firm belief and implacable conviction, Akere refuses to be dragged into the mud by tribal fanatics like Nkou Mvondo. The latter, as is emerging clearly for all to see, wanted to exploit Akere’s personality for the strategic benefit of his tribal kinsman Biya, by keeping the opposition disjointed and divided. It is important to note that Akere has an enviable and rare track record of being a dedicated crusader for transparency, good governance, and sane leadership. His achievements as an individual (which are all well documented) surpass by far what some classical political opposition parties have achieved as organizations over decades of existence. A recent case is the exposure of the Glencore heist, whose denouement is expected to yield some colossal sums of money for the country. It may also end up exposing the white collared gangsters cloaked with state authority. In achieving this, Akere did not need the cover of a political party. Just his individual achievements and track record bestow upon him the necessary amada to achieve where others fail and to dare and tread where others are scared to…. Professor Nkou Mvondo, take note, Akere does not need your “yango” if it is ultimately aimed at depriving the people of change in 2025…..A man of Akere’s calibre will not sacrifice his dignity and self-esteem for tribal politics and greed.
