Agbeyome Kodjo: 'If the opposition wants to conquer power, it will have to have the means'

Former Prime Minister Agbeyomé Messan Kodjo was Sunday the political guest of Radio Pyramide FM, a private radio station in Lomé where he reviewed the current socio-political situation. Can the opposition at the moment bend Faure Gnassingbe's power and win the next election? The former president of the National Assembly of Togo believes that this opposition still has some way to go to get there.

"The recent rapprochements between certain groups of the opposition still do not allow to drive the change that the Togolese expect and desire. If the opposition wants to conquer power, it will have to give itself the means to define its own agenda. It must be united and speak the same language, "he recommended while welcoming the strategy adopted by the group of six and the CAP2015. A strategy he finds "good but not enough". This grouping must be opened up to the other political groups of the opposition family, especially to the "emerging forces", he advocates.

The economist and former Director-General of the Autonomous Port of Lomé did not shy away from his pleasure when talking about the socio-economic situation in Togo. A situation he presents as "difficult". For Agbeyomé Kodjo, the "misery is ambient" in the country and spares no one whatsoever the small people or the cadres. "The Togolese cry their misery. The latter is growing in the country and it is not only the weaker ones who express the need to beg. It is also the fact of unsuspected personalities, "he said encouraging the government authorities to fight uncheckedly to corruption and economic crimes.

The Togolese State must mobilize resources to develop the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector and the sector of agriculture, sectors which, according to the Tokpli native, are major sources of employment.

In the power of Faure Gnassingbe, the president of the OBUTS party delivered a message. The one of a necessary alternation and change which in his eyes are the best means of development of the country allowing each one to try to the management of the country and allowing the people to sanction in case of failure.

Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also.

He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
