An atmosphere of uncertainty and frustration
was reported at the Bamenda Congress Hall yesterday where the Central Committee
team led by Agbo Tabi was receiving candidatures for the senate. Classified sources
hinted that there was frustration, intimidation and confusion when some names
were deleted. Accordingly, sources say the master planner who frustrated most
of those who were aspiring to go to senate was no other person than the Rt.
Hon. Achidi Achu. According to what we gathered John B Ndeh, Nwana Sama, Sama
Ignatius, Fon Chafah and Achidi Achu each submitted a list. And at the end of
the day, only three lists were forwarded to the Central Investiture Committee.
Dr. Nwana and Sama Ignatius’s lists were dropped without giving tangible
reasons why. More so, sources say the most frustrated case was that of Nji
Fidelis whose name was deleted and replaced with that of Wallang Ako David. Besides,
it is alleged Agbo Tabi fell into Rt. Hon Achidi Achu’s trap and he was seen as
receiving instructions from him and not implementing orders from the Central
Committee. Public opinion in the North West is aghast with what transpired at
the Congress Hall. Yet allegations are rife at that the crack will give the SDF
the position to sweep the seven seats in the North West Region if the situation
is not redressed immediately. Some CPDM councilors are quoted to have vowed
that they will never cast their votes for a certain personality who thinks that
the entire region is in his armpit. Another even vowed to vote for the
opposition due to the bias exercise by the Regional investiture. Yet, others
say the lists were being dictated from the Prime Ministry while Simon Achidi
Achu was implementing. More so, it is not yet clear whether Dr. Nick Ngwanyam's name appeared in any of these three lists or he finally formed his own lists.
