Cameroon 2025: Eric Chinje Asks—Where Is President Paul Biya?

Eric Chinje, the veteran Cameroonian journalist and promoter of Project C, is stirring up the national conversation with a simple but urgent question: Where is President Paul Biya?

Now 92 years old, President Biya announced—via a brief post on X (formerly Twitter)—that he intends to run for yet another term. But since that digital declaration, he has not made a single public appearance. No rallies, no speeches, not even a wave from a car window. For a country heading into a pivotal election, the silence is deafening.

In his latest podcast, Chinje doesn't pull any punches. He lays out the big questions on everyone's mind:

Where is President Biya? Why has the man running for the highest office in the land gone missing from the public eye? If he is fit to lead, Chinje argues, he should prove it—not just on paper, but in person.

Will he campaign? Cameroonians have grown used to distant leadership, but Chinje says enough is enough. A real campaign means real engagement: debates, town halls, tough questions—not just statements read by aides or cryptic messages online.

Can we trust the media? Chinje worries that the press will not push hard enough. He challenges his fellow journalists to hold power to account, to dig deeper, to demand more from those who want to govern.

Throughout the episode, Chinje circles back to a core theme: accountability. If President Biya wants the country’s trust, he needs to show up—literally. He needs to face the people, answer their questions, and participate in a live debate to demonstrate his competence and vision.

It is a call to action, not just for Biya, but for every Cameroonian. As the 2025 elections approach, Eric Chinje’s message is clear: leaders must be visible, present, and willing to earn the people’s vote.
