Cameroon held birthday celebrations across the country for President Paul Biya, who turned 89 on Sunday. Cameroon’s National Youth Council said it organized the birthday celebration in collaboration with the government of Cameroon. His representative, Ferdinand Ngo Ngo, Secretary-General of Cameroon’s presidency said Biya is delighted that young Cameroonians love the president. Ngo Ngo said other nations envy Cameroon because of Biya’s exceptional leadership qualities. The government said young people came out voluntarily to celebrate Biya’s birthday, but critics say they were paid $5 each to take part in the birthday event.
