Disgraced former Minister Titus Edzoa buys a new CPDM membership card

Cameroon Concord has obtained ample evidence that disgraced former minister and secretary general at the presidency of the republic Prof. Titus Edzoa has bought a membership card and renewed his commitment to the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement (CPDM). Prof. Edzoa who also moonlighted as a private medical doctor to the President Biya family, spent 17 years in jail on charges of corruption. Edzoa Titus it should be recalled resigned as Minister of Public Health on April 20^th 1997 during an official assignment at Yaoundé Hilton Hotel.

The Edzoa Titus decision to purchase a new membership card recently has sent shock waves throughout the nation’s capital Yaoundé with some political commentators opining that the former minister is poised for a return to active politics. Released some 11 months ago from the Kondengui high security prison, the former hardliner in the Biya Francophone Beti-Ewondo government was quoted as saying he resigned from government and not from the CPDM and that he has been an activist inside the ruling party.

It is vital to include in this report that Prof. Titus Edzoa contrary to what he is claiming today, resigned from the government and the ruling CPDM party and declared his candidature for the post of president of the republic in 1997 before his kinsman President Biya concocted corruptions charges against him that eventually took him to prison.
