Nigerians on social media have reacted to reports that Cameroon's President, Paul Biya, has officially been declared the winner of the presidential elections.

Biya, 92 years old, is the world’s oldest Head of State.

His victory was announced by the country’s Constitutional Council on Monday after a vote held earlier this month.

The election result has, however, been a subject of debate as he faces accusations of delaying results, restricting opposition participation, and overseeing a system in which his party holds deep influence.

Biya has been at the helm since 1982 and has extended his decades-long rule amid significant political tension.

The opposition has denounced the result as lacking credibility and called for national dialogue. With Biya now entering another term in office, analysts say Cameroon’s political trajectory remains in the balance — facing demands for change and questions over future stability.

His election victory has generated significant reactions in Nigeria.
