Ahidjo was just as corrupt and thieving as Biya, just that nobody dared call him a thief, because he would get you tortured until you die. Then he would get them to revive you, feed you well until you recover, then start the process over again until all your hair turned white. People were too terrified to call this tyrant what he was. The difference between him and Biya is that Ahidjo exercised tighter control over the stealing. Only those he permitted were allowed to steal. Significant freestyle stealing was considered a challenge to authority.
CPDM is CNU. Paul Biya's government is a continuation of Ahidjo's.
