Paul Biya is almost 100 years old’: the true age of the president revealed
He was born in 1933
– According to the latest revelations, the Lion Man is nearly 100 years old
– Boris Bertolt makes the revelation
– He would be born in 1933
The president of Cameroon would actually be almost 100 years old. This is a confidence made by the political journalist Boris Bertolt. He reported this Saturday, April 30, 2022 on his official page.
According to the political scientist, President Paul Biya “was officially born in 1933.”
“But at the time it was when you were already climbing the mango trees that the whites said you were just born. The whites had to make sure that you climbed the mango trees three times. You pick and you suck”, the journalist maintains.
Paul Biya’s longevity: new secrets of the ‘Lion Man’ leak out
The man of November 6, 1982 obviously holds a part of his longevity at the head of Cameroon for sure by his capacity of detachment, of distance first between himself and the power he exercises and especially between himself and his collaborators. The elusive man.
In the memory of observers of the political scene, when has Paul Biya ever been seen in full extravagant enjoyment of the lucre of power, engrossed in the festive moments that rub off on the immaculate parts of his presidential attributes? Who has ever seen him engaged and entangled in the mundane nuptials of everyday life? This Paul Biya, son of a catechist as he is presented, seminarian above all, contrasts with many of his collaborators, and whatever the recriminations that one nourishes against him, from this point of view forces respect and admiration.
Omar Bongo Ondimba, of late memory, loved to dance with the women of the Gabonese Democratic Party (Pdg), who jumped on his neck during his public gatherings that he loved more than anything. He liked to be in contact with people and visited his family without any protocol in the streets of Libreville or Franceville. The same goes for President Laurent Gbagbo when he was in office.
He was seen at times in those days as a witness at a wedding in Abidjan. Of Paul Biya, we know that he listens to classical music, Mozart, and everything stops there. He has never been seen to dance at any party, nor to show his affections or emotions publicly. The first time Cameroonians saw his wife Chantal kissing him in public, the picture showed him stiffening as if he was not there in front of the cameras.
Today, as proof of this detachment, the public is wondering who the Biya man is after 40 years of continuous leadership. One could object to the gigantic ceremonial that accompanies his rare official outings, especially on solemn days like May 20, the national holiday.
Postures and attitudes
Precisely, this is yet another indication of the man’s desire to put a significant distance between himself and his collaborators, or between the man Biya and the height he gives to the presidential office he assumes. He does so much and so well that some people wonder by his postures and attitudes, what he has in common with the culture of the people of the forest from which he comes.
It is true that lately the photos of his birthdays in family turn in loop on the web, raising a wave of questions because, this way of doing contrasts with the habits and customs that he has always served to his compatriots. It is therefore to draw that some observers are killing themselves to decipher the message that the “Cameroonian number one” addresses from this fact.
Similarly, we note that he has always wanted to keep his family away from the exercise of power. This is far from being the case in neighboring countries where the sons of his counterparts hold entire sections of power if they do not simply manage them.
Before Omar Bongo, his son Ali, who replaced him in the presidential chair, was the vice-president of the Pdg and Minister of Defence; the latter’s son, Noureddin Bongo Valentin, after the prestigious post of general coordinator of presidential affairs, is now a strategic adviser to the party president, Ali Bongo Ondimba. In Equatorial Guinea, Teodoro
Nguema Obiang Mangue, his father’s son, is Vice President of the Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (Pdge) and Vice President of the Republic. In Congo Brazzaville, Denis Christel Sassou Nguesso, one of the Congolese president’s sons, is Minister of International Cooperation and Promotion of Public-Private Partnership in the Congolese government. In contrast, a few years ago, the admission of two of Paul Biya’s sons to the National School of Administration and Magistracy (Enam) led to the creation of a new school in the country.
