President-Elect Tchiroma Takes Bold Step, Names Fearless Home-Base Lawyer Alice Nkom as Official Spokesperson

The decisive moment came today with Tchiroma’s announcement of a decree appointing Barrister Alice Nkom — one of Cameroon’s most respected human-rights defenders — as the official spokesperson of the Elected Presidency.

This is the clearest sign yet that the elected camp is transitioning from resistance to institution-building — a move long predicted by Project C founder Eric Chinge, who declared earlier this week that “Tchiroma will soon be sworn in.”

A Parallel Swearing-In Now in Sight

Project C’s prediction, initially viewed as symbolic rhetoric, now appears to be unfolding step by step.
With:

• A clear presidential decree

• A fully constituted communications office

• A growing network of local and diaspora support

• Clergy openly questioning the legitimacy of Biya’s fabricated results

• Regions in open defiance through ghost towns and civil disobedience

…Tchiroma is no longer simply contesting the results — he is constructing a functioning presidency.

Sources inside the elected camp confirm to Cameroon Concord that internal discussions on the venue, format, and diplomatic outreach for a parallel swearing-in have intensified since the release of Tchiroma’s 48-hour ultimatum demanding the release of political detainees.

Alice Nkom: A Strategic Masterstroke

The nomination of Alice Nkom is not cosmetic — it is a structural escalation.

The 80-year-old lawyer, the first woman admitted to the Cameroon Bar, has survived decades of harassment, threats, and regime intimidation.
She is internationally respected, feared by the system, and trusted by civil society.

Her entry signals three things:

1. Tchiroma’s presidency is adopting institutional legitimacy rather than purely political rhetoric.

2. The resistance is aligning itself with moral authority, something Biya’s network cannot match.

3. Cameroon now effectively has two governments — one imposed by force, the other anchored in electoral legitimacy and legal symbolism.

For a regime that has always controlled the narrative through intimidation, the arrival of Nkom is a major ideological shock.

Biya’s Regime Falters Under Pressure

On the ground, Biya’s authority is visibly eroding:

• Night-time arrests have intensified, yet fail to deter protests.

• Over 500 citizens were recently reported detained in Douala alone.

• Territorial Administration Minister Atanga Nji rushed to Ngaoundéré to calm tensions and has already begun ordering selective releases.

• Clergy such as Reverend Mbanwei Jonathan openly question the regime’s fabricated votes in ghost-town regions like Batibo.

• International bodies and diplomats remain silent but are increasingly uneasy with the growing instability.

The regime’s posture has shifted from triumph to damage control.

A Country in Dual Reality

Across Cameroon, a phrase is spreading:

“The orders now come from Garoua.”

It reflects a new political psychology:
Cameroonians no longer view Biya’s decrees as legitimate — they view them as survival reflexes of a collapsing oligarchy.

Tchiroma’s presidential infrastructure, meanwhile, is expanding:

• Communications office established

• Diplomatic outreach increasing

• Legal framing clearly articulated

• Popular support consolidating

• Parallel governance taking shape

The situation is moving from political dispute to a constitutional schism.

The Road to Tchiroma’s Swearing-In

Whether the move happens tomorrow, next week, or later, the trajectory is unmistakable:

A parallel inauguration is no longer speculation — it’s preparation.

Project C saw it coming.
Alice Nkom’s nomination confirms it.
The ground reality demands it.
And the people — long silenced — are waiting for it.

Cameroon is entering a new phase where legitimacy will no longer be defined by uniforms, ceremonies, or aging strongmen, but by the ballot box, the moral authority of those who defend it, and the courage of a people refusing to be erased.
