Presidential candidate of the National Salvation Front (FSNC), Issa Tchiroma Bakary, has claimed that ministers and members of government have reached out to congratulate him following his declaration of victory in the just-concluded presidential election in Cameroon.
In a statement released Saturday, Bakary expressed gratitude to those who have shown support, describing the moment as one of national significance.
“I want to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the ministers and members of government who have personally called me in recent days to express their support.
“The time is no longer for pretenses or calculations: when the stakes for our country and for national peace are this crucial, everyone must choose their side, and many have already done so.”
Bakary also claimed that some members of the military high command had pledged their loyalty to the people, rather than to privilege or power.
“I also thank certain members of the High Command and our Armed Forces who, with responsibility and clarity, have made me aware of their determination not to betray their primary mission: protecting the people.
“I hope that others will follow in the coming days, because history will remember those who chose the people rather than privileges.”
Addressing the media, Bakary urged journalists to resist becoming tools of misinformation, warning against compromising their role in shaping public opinion.
“To our brothers and sisters in the press, I also make this appeal: do not allow yourselves to be turned into instruments of disinformation for the sake of favors or positions.
“You carry a great responsibility toward the youth of this country, who look up to you as models. Do not become enemies of the people.”
Bakary added with a call for unity and vigilance, saying, “The times are grave, but hope is stronger. Together, let us remain standing, united, and vigilant. The future is in our hands.”If You’re Reading From Phoenix Click On Read Original at the top To Read Full Article
