Dauphinat: Paul Biya Blurs The Tracks With a Rene Sadi Without Portfolio

These two personalities often presented by the opinion as the probable dolphins to the succession of Paul Biya were released, for one, and demoted for the other, during the ministerial reshuffle of March 2, 2018.

The newspaper Mutations in newsstands Monday, March 5, 2018 comments this hot news and believes that by this act, the Head of State scrambles the cards on his estate.

Regarding René Emmanuel Sadi, Mutations believes that "at the height of the debate on the failure of decentralization, facing the stalemate of the socio-political crisis in the English-speaking area of ​​Cameroon and nearly a month after the kidnapping in the north-west of the sub-prefect of Batibo (department of Momo), event on which René Emmanuel Sadi has never been pronounced, the dismissal of this high clerk of the very regalien Ministry of Territorial Administration and the Decentralization and his appointment to a position of minister without portfolio, appear in the opinion as a stinging disavowal on the part of the head of state.

And from this point of view, says the newspaper, the doors of the estate to Paul Biya would now be permanently closed. "This grid of logical reading takes into account the fact that he will no longer have control over the territorial, in which he had woven a powerful network, through the appointment of his relatives to key positions", reads we.

Still according to the newspaper, the most informed observers think however that recalling at his side "the diplomat with the word polite and neat put", the President of the Republic would aim not only to protect him from his opponents, but also and especially to better prepare it for power away from cameras and prying eyes. 

From the time he was secretary general of the RDP's central committee, Yoko's son was already strongly suspected of clearly positioning himself as Paul Biya's dauphin.

For his part, reports Mutations, Edgard Alain Mebe Ngo'o makes a runway can not be more brutal. The now-former Minister of Transport is thus seeing his almost obsessional dream of succeeding his "father" shattered. 

As a result, "in the very closed circle of presumed dolphins of Paul Biya, only Laurent Esso and Louis Paul Motaze are maintained at the head of ministerial departments of sovereignty. The Minister of Justice, Keeper of the Seals and the new Minister of Finance therefore retain all their chances and can continue to comfortably feed their presidential dream, if they have, "wrote Mutations.
