Who is who?Those who will make 2022 - free morning

A new year, new challenges. Although it is not an election year, 2022 serves as a springboard for the Legislative elections of 2023. It will then experience many political movements. In the staffs of the political parties, it will be the commotion. The positions on the lists will be decided in 2022. For the Les Démocrates party, the return to Parliament in 2023 will depend on the occupation of the political terrain in 2022. Same thing for the Prd, the Fcbe. In addition to the political terrain, the projects contained in Pag 2 will begin to be implemented this year. There are many expectations. All this will be the work of men and women who will be in action this year. Here are those who will make 2022.

Patrice Talon

The 2022 budget is balanced in resources and expenditure at the sum of 2.541 billion 203 million CFA francs. Compared to that of the 2021 amending finance law, this budget is down 14.83%. However, major projects are announced to start in 2022, for example the Vèdoko interchange. The other announcement made by the Head of State, on the occasion of his speech on the State of the Nation, is the revaluation of the index point for workers. But the General Tax Code has revealed new taxes. Similarly, the announced wage reduction is making workers cringe. This news contrasts with the joy aroused at the start of the year by the announcement of the upgrade. On the political level, 2022 prepares the Legislative elections of 2023. Patrice Talon will have to weigh his weight in the positioning of the candidates on the Up and Br lists. A lot of dissatisfaction is in sight and Talon will have to arbitrate or relocate any disappointed ones. The participation in these elections of the party The Democrats will be the other challenge.

Nicephore Soglo

With the death of his dear wife, 2021 has been a trying year for President Nicéphore Soglo. But the patriarch remained constant. His very critical speech with regard to the Rupture regime has not changed. It is to be expected that he will keep his distance from the head of state throughout this year. However, the fact that the former president is against the current governance of the country does not prevent him from responding to invitations from deputies and those close to power. This is the case on January 10, 2022. On the occasion of the feast of endogenous religions, Nicéphore Soglo was the distinguished guest of deputy Edmond Agoua on the Agoualand site where the municipality of Abomey-Calavi celebrated the event. This bodes well for the presence of the patriarch in the news of 2022.

Olivier Boco

In 2021, he played an official role in the campaign of the Talon-Talata duo. When we know that 2022 is preparing for 2023, the year of the Legislative elections, we can also expect Olivier Boco to come out of the shadows once again. He will have to move pawns with regard to the positions on the Up list. The man in the shadow of Patrice Talon has his men within the state apparatus. He will certainly ensure that their interests are safeguarded

Yayi Boni

The predecessor of Patrice Talon was spotted preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ in Nigeria. Did Boni Yayi finally become a pastor, as he had promised, once he was no longer president? We will know more in 2022. And perhaps he will appreciate this year, the release of those arrested in connection with the post-election violence. The former president had made the request during his historic meeting with his successor in 2021. If several people were released, the most popular, Reckya Madougou and Joël Aïvo, were sentenced to 20 and 10 years in prison. . Since then, Boni Yayi has not raised the subject. Will he come out of silence in 2022? In his capacity as honorary president of the opposition party Les Démocrates, will he take an active part in the preparation of the 2023 Legislative elections? Many questions remain unanswered for the moment.

Adrien Houngbedji

The Party for Democratic Renewal (Prd) has promised the Remontada in 2023. Newly reappointed leader of the party, Adrien Houngbédji, if he wants to take his revenge, must get up early. 2022 will therefore be a crucial year in the perspective of the Legislative elections of 2023. The president of the Arc-en-ciel party must reconcile with his base and with the militants who have left to seek their fortune elsewhere. With the Up and the Br, the task will not be easy. The agreement with its current partners can quickly turn into a cold war. On the determination of the man will depend the political survival of his formation. For Adrien Houngbédji and the Prd, 2022 holds things in store.

Hervé Dassooundo

Promoted to Marketing Director of the Confederation of African Football (Caf), the Beninese Hervé Dassoundo is already hard at work. With the African Cup of Nations which started on January 9, 2022 in Cameroon, Hervé Dassoundo is working to make the event visible everywhere on the platforms. And already, that succeeds to him since the Can is very followed everywhere in Africa. The expertise and skill of the young Beninese can only make this competition a success. This will be Hervé Dassoundo's big challenge for this year 2022.

Malick Gomina

At the head of the municipality of Djougou since June 08, 2020, on behalf of the 4th mandate of decentralization, the former journalist prints a new mode of management in Djougou. In 2021, he led several development projects in the city; electrification, hygiene and sanitation, organization of the cleanest neighborhood competition, organization of tutorials for students in exam class, reform in the collection and management of taxes, the list is not exhaustive. These programs should continue and others will be carried out in 2022 for the happiness of the populations of Djougou. This year, the city could also have its anthem. The project is very advanced and the artists are in the studio. It is obvious that Mayor Malick Gomina will be talked about in 2022.

Valentin Djènontin

Of the members of the Beninese opposition in exile, Valentin Djènontin is one of the most active. Sometimes he is one step ahead of the Rupture. He has the art of deciphering what is hidden behind such a reform, such a law passed in Parliament. It is to be expected that Valentin Djènontin, former Keeper of the Seals under the Yayi regime, will continue to mark the Rupture à la culotte.

Benjamin Hounkpatin

For the Minister of Health, 2022 is already off to a better start with the decision to recognize PCR tests that are less than 72 hours old. Similarly, the presentation of a Pcr test dating back less than five (5) days is required of all travelers departing from Cotonou while taking into account the requirements of the countries of destination. Little by little, Benin is complying with the decision of UEMOA on the costs of Pcr tests and on the conditions for validating said tests. On the other hand, the number of people already vaccinated continues to grow. It is to be hoped that the number of contaminations will decrease this year. This suggests that Benjamin Hounkpatin will necessarily be in the news in 2022.

Sebastien Ajavon

Although forced into exile following legal disputes, opponent Sébastien Ajavon will be at the forefront of the political scene in 2022, with the legislative elections imminent. And the opposition intends to participate. The boss of the Liberal solidarity union, again sentenced in March 2021 in absentia to a 5-year prison sentence for "forgery, use of forgery and fraud" by the Court for the Suppression of Economic Crimes and Terrorism (Criet) , will have a say.

Wilfried Léandre Houngbédji

Deputy Secretary General of the Government and spokesperson for the government, Wilfried Léandre Houngbédji will not be sheltered from the spotlight in 2022. Very much in demand to answer questions on socio-political news, the former journalist will once again be very expected in particular with the new fiscal realities, the promises of the government as regards the increase of the wages, the preparation of the legislative election and the participation of the opposition and others. Author of the book “Thus speaks Talon” published in October 2021, Wilfried Léandre Houngbédji began a few months ago, a tour of the editorial offices to discuss current events with journalists.

Komi Koutche

As in 2021, the former Minister of Finance, Komi Koutché will be very present in political debates in Benin. Although being far from the national territory because also forced into exile. Very critical of the government of the Rupture, the former national treasurer does not miss any opportunity to denounce serious attacks on democratic principles in Benin. Komi Koutché set up the National Contact Group (Gnc), a framework for consultation of political, social and economic forces for the restoration of democracy and the rule of law. And in view of the imminence of the legislative elections, it will be necessary to reckon with the strong man of Bantè. Komi Koutché is often heard from his Facebook page and in international media.

Joel Aivo

Sentenced on December 7 to ten years in prison, the internationally renowned academic, Joël Aïvo will also be present in political debates in 2022. Although imprisoned, the constitutionalist has never refrained from being heard from its Facebook page and other channels. While political moves were announced behind the scenes for his release with the option of presidential pardon, this did not happen. His release will therefore continue to fuel the debates in 2022. With his initiative called itinerant dialogue, the Professor of Public Law and Constitutionalist traveled during the year 2021, all the regions of Benin. This, in order to discuss directly with the populations at the base, on its political project. Candidate rejected for lack of sponsorship, the opponent sharply criticized and denounced the "manoeuvres" of the regime in place, having prevented him from participating in this competition. Arrested on April 15 for money laundering and undermining state authority, Joël Aïvo remains at the heart of the news.

Rekya Madougou

Like Joël Aivo, former special adviser to the Togolese Head of State, Reckya Madougou is in prison after being rejected in the 2021 presidential election. years in prison by the Criet, his release will also be at the heart of the news in 2022. While his Les Démocrates party says it is ready to participate in the 2023 legislative elections, there is no doubt that Reckya Madougou will have a say. The former Keeper of the Seals remains very active from his Facebook page. And his lawyers continue to use all means to obtain his release. An international consultant in financial inclusion, she remained very critical of the power of Patrice Talon.

Eric Houndete

President of the Les Démocrates party, Éric Houndété continues to make himself heard and will also be at the forefront of the political scene in 2022. In addition to the political steps for the release of activists and candidate Reckya Madougou as well as opponents such as Aivo, Eric Houndété is eagerly awaited in 2022. His party also aims to participate in the 2023 legislative elections. the place of the regime prove that it is not ready to turn its back on the news.

Mario Metonou

2022 also promises to be rich in “big cases” at the Court for the Suppression of Economic Crimes and Terrorism (Criet). The special prosecutor, Mario Mètonou will therefore be in the news in 2022. After the trials of opponents Joël Aivo and Reckya Madougou, major cases await the young prosecutor.

Paul Hounkpe

Unfortunate candidate for the presidential election of 2021 for the post of Vice-President, Paul Hounkpè, National Executive Secretary of the Force cauris party for an emerging Benin (Fcbe), is still far from retiring from the political scene. In 2022, the man will also be in the limelight given the legislative elections scheduled for 2023. Leader of the opposition, Paul Hounkpè undoubtedly aims to join parliament and his presence in the political field is therefore possible. . In addition to his activism, he is associated with major national events.

Alassane Soumanou Djimba

Now honorary president of the Force cauris party for an emerging Benin (Fcbe), Alassane Soumanou Djimba will have a lot to do throughout this year 2022. new role within this political formation of the opposition in replacement of Boni Yayi will be more than determining, for the widening of the electoral base of the aforesaid party. With the legislative elections of 2023 already upon us, the former Minister of State in charge of secondary education will have to, with the help of the other tenors, remobilize the troop and revitalize things within the party. Even if this title now makes him wiser, that will not prevent him from helping the Fcbe to prepare these legislative elections, which will eventually be tough.

Lehady Soglo

Exiled to Paris since his dismissal followed by his conviction for abuse of office, the former Mayor of Cotonou continues to be talked about from France. Always critical of the regime of Patrice Talon, Lehady Soglo except cataclysm will mark the year 2022, through this same posture. Early opponent of the Rupture, the death of his mother Rosine Soglo will therefore not dull his ardor to throw peaks at the current government.

Rachidi Gbadamassi

Member of the National Assembly, Rachidi Gbadamassi is one of the most passionate political figures in Benin. Still active in the field but also in the media, the current head of the Defense Committee in Parliament will not miss the meeting of socio-political activism in 2022. With the new political heads who have started to emerge since the advent of the Rupture at the level of Parakou and who are truly anointed by Patrice Talon, the positions on the lists of the political parties at the level of the Republican Bloc (Br) of Rachidi Gbadamassi will be well discussed. For most cases at the top of the list, the man will certainly have to reconnect in 2022 with his verve and this political activism that we know him in order to hope not to lose this privilege for the next legislative elections.

Jose Tonato

Minister for the living environment and sustainable development, José Didier Tonato is one of the ministerial authorities of the government of Patrice Talon, which has seen its budget for the 2022 financial year increase. From 101,302,535,000 CFA francs for the past year, this budget has now increased to 170,252,035,000 CFA francs. This, to mean that José Tanato is one of the Ministers who will be the most anticipated and active in terms of achievements this year. For the continuation and consolidation of reforms and structuring projects, asphalting, rainwater drainage, the construction of commercial equipment and other colossal projects will, in short, make him one of the personalities who will make 2022 in Benin.

Louis Vlavonou

President of the National Assembly, eighth legislature, Louis Vlavonou will mark the year 2022 in Benin. A seasoned mover, he will have to continue to remobilize the base of Ouémé-Plateau for the benefit of his political party, the Progressive Union, for the upcoming electoral contests. In parliament, he will do his best to ensure the vote of the various laws whether they are projects or proposals and this, for the benefit of the executive.

Wadagni Romuald

Now Minister of State, Romuald Wadagni will again be in charge of managing public finances in 2022. When we know that everything the government undertakes as a form of reform and which induces long or short-term expenditure goes through him , the man will therefore not be the rest, throughout the year. National treasurer, Romuald Wadagni has recently appeared as a registered trademark at the level of the Ministers of Finance of the sub-region. Haloed several times as the best among those of Uemoa and others, the former executive of Deloitte will also undoubtedly keep this privilege throughout the year. Like the fundraisers described as exceptional on behalf of Benin, he will also be one of the leaders in the bacterium of social measures announced by the executive this year.

Hugues Sossoukpe

A seasoned activist, Comlan Hugues Sossoukpè has become a fan of social networks. More active alongside the Beninese opposition, he did not go unnoticed in 2021. He will certainly have to continue in the same dynamic the current year. This, through his sometimes first-hand information, his denunciations or the many relays in which he does not fail to denounce or alert on questions in particular political. Very well known on Facebook, his newly created information site, which has already relayed the trials of Reckya Madougou and Joël Aïvo live, will once again make him one of the most visible activists in 2022.

Luc Atrokpo

Mayor of the municipality of Cotonou, Luc Atrokpo also heads the National Association of Municipalities of Benin (Ancb). With these two hats, the former councilor of Bohicon will once again be in the starting block of those who will make 2022. With the many projects connected by the government through phase 2 of Pag, associated with its roadmap for the economic city of Benin, Luc Atrokpo will have a lot to do for this purpose. Hence its visibility and promptness on all fronts, over the next twelve months.

Oswald Homeky

A year of challenges for the Minister of Sports, Oswald Homeky, who must continue the work of professionalizing sport in Benin. The reforms initiated in the sports sector must begin by taking shape. The other challenge will be the qualification of Benin for the next African Cup of Nations Ivory Coast 2023. And this requires a good recruitment of a coach capable of a good recruitment of a coach capable of taking up the challenge . Absent at Can 2021 after a good participation in 2019, Benin must take up the challenge of 2023. Which goes through 2022 which would be a year when Beninese sport will be eagerly awaited. And the sports minister has an important role to play.

Fanicko

Today the undisputed master of urban music in Benin, the young artist will undoubtedly do wonders in this new year 2022. Influential elements of the Blue Diamond stable, Olivier Adjadohoun has served music lovers with titles tasty the past year. The clip for the title “Le beau des beaux” released on December 4, 2021 already has more than 1 million views on Youtube. From Côte d'Ivoire to Cameroon, via Benin, the song is on everyone's lips. It should still go up in 2022. But it is certain that the artist will not stop on this success in 2022. Any indication that Fanicko de Jesus still has many surprises in store for his fans. So stay glued to experience high-level urban music.

Amissétou Affo Djobo

It’s 2022. A new year. And, certainly, challenges are to be met politically for the Amazon Amissétou Affo Djobo. 2021 must have been a school for her. From her various misfortunes, she has surely learned from her country of exile. Ardent defender of democracy, opponent of the regime of President Patrice Talon, with the legislative elections of 2023 in sight, there is no doubt that she will not play the spectator. With the verve that we recognize in her, the president of the National Contact Group (Gnc), of the Commitment to Benin movement, will continue to opine on the governance of her country. A lot of ink will flow on the Facebook page of the one who supports with Abbé Pierre, that "Even if you are alone and no one is following you, always defend what seems right to you". What else will she make us read about this regime which, she asserts, has “disarticulated and disintegrated the foundations of our democratic system…”? The appointment is taken.

Ganiou Soglo

Will 2022 finally let us know the perpetrators of the attack in February 2021 of which the son of the initiator of the January 10, Voodoo festival was the victim? Or, has the former Minister of Sports, Ganiou Soglo finally abdicated to shed light on this affair? Moreover, the legislative elections of 2023 are already being prepared. Ganiou Soglo, who filed his candidacy for the last presidential election, will certainly have his say.

Claudine Prudencio

For the time being, at the National Institute for Women ''de'' Claudine Afiavi Prudencio, not much to get your teeth into since her appointment in September 2021. But 2022 is here and is showing its first weeks. She remains for the former President of the Union for the Development of a New Benin (Udbn) party, which party legalized in October 2021 its merger with the Republican Bloc (BR), one of the two blocs of Patrice Talon, a year of challenges. On the projects for the advancement of women, both at the political, economic, social, legal and cultural levels, both in the public and private spheres; the fight against all forms of discrimination and violence against wife, the former minister is eagerly awaited. On the political level with the different positions in sight for the legislative elections of 2023, it will also be necessary to take account of it.

Claudine Talon

Coincidence or force of the word, she is faithful to the connotation of her name ''Gbènagnon'', to say that ''the future will be bright''. Mother of orphans and widows, support for the poor , Claudine Gbènagnon Talon has chosen to do social work as her spearhead. For years that she has been there, the actions to her credit amaze. Those of 2021 relayed on the Facebook page of her Claudine Talon Foundation, edify. Crossing mountains and wonders, hamlets and villages, it is hope that the wife of Patrice Talon, President of the Republic of Benin, awakens through his Foundation, in several Beninese through various projects. Free cataract surgery operations, Menstrual hygiene management in schools, Construction of schools, Professional integration of out-of-school girls, Excellence in schools, Zero obstetric fistula, Support for orphanages, etc. And, as soon as 2022 has begun, here she is again, in the fight against cervical cancer. “The program to fight against cervical cancer continues! To this end, all women aged 25 to 49 are invited to be tested free of charge in one of the 09 partner health centers... '' she announced on January 6, 2022. Full success to her!

Clement Loko

Double Wpbf (World Professional Boxing Federation) African boxing champion, the Beninese international pugilist Clément Loko had a sparkling year in 2021 with two continental titles in six months. This allowed him to permanently retain his belt and now joined the top 20 qualifiers for the French-speaking Wbc version of the world championship. A new challenge for the one nicknamed "the panther" distinguished, Saturday, December 11, 2021, on the occasion of Radio Tokpa Award as Best Sportsman of the Year 2021. The year 2022 will therefore be a year of confirmation but also of challenges for the Beninese pugilist who is coveted by large structures, both nationally and internationally. Clément Loko is therefore expected in 2022 to further reveal Benin through his performances on the rings in Africa and around the world.

Chabi Yayi

Already in 2015, Chabi Yayi, youngest son of former President Boni Yayi, had political ambitions. He wanted to be a deputy on the list of his father's ex-party, Fcbe. But the dream could not materialize. With the departure of Boni Yayi from power in 2016, Chabi Yayi remained in the shadows. It was not until 2021 that we heard of him again. The historic meeting, in September 2021, of Boni Yayi with his successor Patrice Talon, would be the work of Chabi Yayi and Lionel Talon, son of Patrice Talon. Chabi Yayi and Lionel Talon did part of their studies together and meet regularly in private. This is how both of them refined the idea of ​​a meeting between their two parents. In 2023, Chabi Yayi is announced to be a legislative candidate. This assumes that will be more and more visible in 2022, just as it was in 2015. 2022 will therefore not happen without the youngest son of Boni Yayi who will have to go to the coals in order to give substance to his dream of being an MP. .
