Upcoming Presidential Election : Senate Calls For Vigilance

“The particular political context in which we are currently living calls for the unity of all those who hate chaos and; over and above our different ideologies, our common responsibility is to guarantee the stability of our institutions, for institutional stability is the bedrock of confidence, strength as well as the means necessary for the growth and development of our country,” highlights the speech of Marcel Niat  Njifenji, read at the closing plenary sitting of the March ordinary session, by the Senior Vice President, Aboubakary Abdoulaye, yesterday April 9, 2025.  In essence, the legislator, in the presence of several members of government led by the Prime Minister Head of Government, Joseph Dion Ngute, and representatives of the diplomatic corps was calling on responsible behaviour on the part of every stakeholder in the upcoming presidential election.

Vigilance, against pyromaniacs and other arsonists, who want to ignite and fan the flames of discord in our country,” cautions the Senate President. 
Noting that stability is the bedrock of progress, Marcel Niat Njifenji says everyone must strive for the stability of republican institutions, while denouncing all forms of hate speech and divide, given that development is impossible without peace. It is the same message of peace that the Senate President urges the lawmakers to carry to their various regions in order to provoke general awareness and mobilisation of staying away from chaos.
