Lies Upon Lies! Anglophones Say “No” To Issa Tchiroma

Former minister Issa Tchiroma Bakary has finally let the mask slip, admitting openly that he has maintained cordial, even close, ties with the very separatist figures who ravaged our land and shattered our lives. And now, he has the gods to expect the people of North West and South West to cheer him on toward national leadership? We say No!

How dare him!
How dare Tchiroma!
What a liar! What a traitor!

This is the same man who, for years, stood before the cameras — cold, defiant — declaring “there is no crisis.” He ridiculed our grief. He dismissed our dead. He called our suffering an exaggeration. Now, with one smug admission, he claims intimacy with those who fueled the violence? Shame!

“We buried our children while he laughed in Yaounde,” said a youth activist in Nkwen. “Now he wants our votes? He belongs in court, not on a campaign poster.”

From Ngarbuh to Bali, from Pinyin to Kumbo, the people remember. The scars are fresh. The pain is raw. And no last-minute apology will wash his hands clean. How many of our mothers and fathers have been killed, kidnapped, raped because of lying Tchiroma ?

This is not repentance. This is manipulation. This is treason.

After all the blood spilled, after the years of denial, his first official visit post-resignation was to the French Embassy. What message does that send? Who does he really serve?

Meanwhile, his associates — like Mark Bareta — call for a suspension of ghost towns, trying to clear the path for Tchiroma’s political comeback. As if our unity means accepting the same hands that helped destroy us.

We say NEVER !

How dare he stand on the graves of our people and call it reconciliation?
How dare he use our trauma as a stepping stone to power?
We remember. We resist. We refuse any so-called apology.

To Mr lying and dishonest Tchiroma and those like him:
We see you. We hear you. And we reject you.
You denied the crisis.
You denied the killings.
Now you deny your own shame.
But the people will not be fooled again.

What a disgrace!

The North‑West has found its voice — and we’re using it to say:
NO to betrayal. NO to hypocrisy. NO to enemies wearing the mask of unity. We have had enough of being used for selfish and political gain and positioning.

This is not politics as usual. This is a reckoning.
