The journal Richestlifestyle American information site published a ranking of the continent's wealthiest leaders. The subject continues to make waves on the social networks, despite the denial of Forbes that the classification has been assigned initially.
Public opinion has stirred up a lot of rumours yesterday, October 9, 2014, due to a release by the Africa Director of the Forbes Magazine who denied the existence of classification of the fortunes of African heads of State in office.
Moreover, the magazine noted the lightness of the information site that published this information.
But even Cameroon-Tribune, before single recipient of the press release of Lobe Ewane, boss at the continental level of prestige Magazine had put it on paper, while many pundits of the regime had warned journalists of the Messenger, Mutations and other securities for displaying the information given by the website in question, for crying out loud in the conspiracy against Paul Biya and the destabilization of institutions.
For them, it was a tissue of lies prepared and disseminated by the opposition press to humiliate once more Paul Biya who they want to remove as head of the country.
A little excited by the release served on a plate by a Forbes Africa Director, political gratin has quickly validated the umpteenth dissertation conspiracy, losing sight of the fact that the national private press is a wrong source.
The ranking was not released by Forbes but Richestlifestyle, an American site for the right of the people, especially recognized as an informer of the princely life train of public figures in an environment of misery.
Thus, after a survey from information given by the "Foreign Policy", whose reports are closely followed by the US Department of State - based on the confidences of a diplomat at the Embassy of the United States in Yaoundé - President Biya holds a fortune of $200 million, not less than 100billion Fcfa.
This ranking of the fortunes of African heads of State was done by a newspaper based in the USA.
It has not been sufficiently documented as noted Le Messenger in its edition of Wednesday, October 08, 2014, it was not edited by Forbes, but by Richestlifestyle based on information released by the "Foreign Policy" certainly, but the underlying problem remains.
However, until the president declares his assets and observe the provisions of article 66 of the Constitution, he will not be out of the debates raised on his presumptive fortune.
