| Hon. Njingum Musa |
Hon. Njingum Musa was
recently honoured by The Guardian Post Newspaper as the Best MP of the year. It
was not by error. The award is the fruit of hard work, determination,
development orientation and dynamism. Anybody who has never seen excellence
incarnated in one person should go for Honourable Njingum Musa. Over the years,
he has proven himself as an exemplary organized person and refined politician.
As one of the prominent sons of Ngoketunjia and MP, his largess knows no
boundary. Hon. Njingum Musa is a seasoned politician especially as one who
preaches the politics of inclusion as prescribed by President Paul Biya. But
unlike most intelligent people who are composed, Hon. Njingum talks only when
it is necessary. As Representative of the people, Hon. Njingum knows the value
of empowering youths, farmers and social cohesion which makes him a super
achiever in 2014. With his accommodating nature, Hon. Njingum has attracted a
lot of youths; women and farmers’ groups join in the battle to disenclaved his
constituency. What makes him unique is that he has succeeded in blending
politics and development.
Today’s glories, they
say are the products of yesterday’s planning. Thus tomorrow’s better days are
also the product of today’s planning. But do people ever plan for tomorrow?
Most people do not, relaying on the adage that let tomorrow take care of
itself. This is however a defeatist nature by those who are weak. That is why
those who adopt this do not excel in life. But those who do are always able to
draw a line from one cause to effect. This is certainly so because development
has become a singsong on every lip and modern technology has placed humanity on
a fast line. But on this fast line, many do falter especially the politicians.
One of those
politicians who is leaving no stone un-turned in Cameroon for his constituency
to emerge is Hon. Njigum Musa, the Member of Parliament for Ngoketunjia
(Babessi sub Division and Ndop Central). Hon. Njigum Musa is Questor at the
National Assembly. He is presently on his second mandate as the Representative
of the people. With a very large constituency that covers two sub Divisions
(Ndop Central and Babessi Sub Division), Hon. Njigum is constantly with his people.
In fact, the image people very often cut of a politician is that of lies. But
Hon. Njigum Musa has over the years proven that even though politicians are
often referred to as people of the lie, there are still politicians of
conscience and character. And he is one. Some people usually think that the
work of a Member of Parliament is limited to voting laws and executing micro
projects in bars, restaurants and snacks around Bamenda, Yaounde and Douala. Or
that theirs is always to dish out empty promises. This is a very erroneous
notion about politicians of conscience and character like Njingum Musa. The prologue
indicators of this great political leader and development luminary are that he
keeps to all his political promises and fulfils them one by one. His
intervention in any
Career
Politician
Hon. Njingum is a
devoted militant of the CPDM and diehard supporter of President Paul Biya’s
political ideologies. He is a heavyweight. The fact that he trashed Hon. Yoyo
Emmanuel in the pools twice to go to Parliament is indicative. It happened in
the 2007 and 2013 Twin elections. If the entire Ngoketunjia is now CPDM, it is
thanks to Njingum Musa. As
the brain behind CPDM, he could have decided like others to do the simple
things, but because he believes like Lance Armstrong that ‘greatness is not a
measure of how great you are but of how great others came to be because of
you’, he decided embark on the disenclavement of his constituency using
politics as a tool. Putting politics and development in one basket to sermonize
the ideologies of the CPDM has put him into the minds of all and sundry. That
is why as a pragmatic politician he is loved, admired and cherished by the
poor, the middle class and the rich without any barriers. Today, he is scoring
high for the CPDM because of that firm choice.
What makes him the shinning political icon in the eyes of
his people is that he is a politician with a vision who acts promptly. Vision
and action are two cardinal ingredients for success and as the Japanese proverb
hold: ‘vision without action is daydream; Action without vision is nightmare’.
He neither daydreams nor entertains nightmares. This is because of his zeal to
recreate passing through politics and knowing like Abraham Lincoln that ‘the
best way to predict the future is to create it’; Hon. Njingum puts into CPDM
vision the necessary ingredients that make him to succeed.
Excellent Developer
Ngoketunjia as one North
West political elite once observed is lucky to have Hon. Njingum Musa. Through
his lobbying skills, government constructed schools, health centres, roads
provided potable water for the people of Ndop Central and Babessi Sub
Divisions. With the micro project grants he has impacted the lives of several
youth groups, farmers groups and communities. Whenever two or more are gathered
to talk development, count him present. Promoting the welfare of women and the
education of the girl child is top on his agenda. Every farming season, he
donates seeds to farming groups, youth groups and the entire farming population.
Women in Ngoketunjia have him in high esteem given the support he gives every
March 24th to them. If you want to see a Member of Parliament who
has used micro grants to carryout giant projects, Hon. Njingum is the right
person. His achievements are many and speak by themselves.
