Vice Presidency: Cabral Libii Responds to Abel Elimbi Lobé and Defends His Position

Cabral Libii, leader of the PCRN, responded to Abel Elimbi Lobé’s criticisms regarding his call to President Paul Biya for the appointment of a vice-president as provided by the Constitution. He clarified that the PCRN supported the constitutional revision, mainly to help ease the anglophone crisis, but was disappointed that the final text did not address this issue. Libii also justified his party’s support by stating that the creation of the vice-presidency could have contributed to calming the anglophone crisis, which did not happen. He mentioned the age of the president as a relevant factor in the political context.
