The Member of Parliament for Nkambe,
Hon. Awudu Mbaya has described Dr. Nick Ngwanyam as a political deceit whose
constituency begins and ends at St. Louis Institute in Bamenda. Hon. Awudu
Mbaya Cyprian lashes that CPDM bigwigs in Donga Mantung Division are blatant
lies tellers given that they take credit for development projects that have
been carried out by the SDF or influenced directly by his party.
According to Hon. Awudu Mbaya the
declaration by Dr Nick Ngwanyam that the portion of road from Mbot to Tabenken
was constructed by Gerald Ngala, CPDM elite is a blatant lie. Harping on Dr.
Nick’s verbal diarrhea Hon. Awudu Mbaya said that Dr. Nick Ngwanyam who claims
to be a development luminary has no residence in the village and not to talk of
having knowledge of development projects in Donga Mantung Division.
To Awudu Mbaya, Dr Nick Ngwanyam “displayed intellectual dishonesty when he
claimed that Gerald Ngala constructed the said stretch of road”.Awudu went
ahead to challenge Dr Nick Ngwanyam to state what he has done for Donga Mantung
apart from “a few scholarships” that
he has offered to the division. “I
remember Dr. Ngwanyam opened a branch of St. Louis in Nkambe, infact he should
tell us what happened to the school at the point that he was talking of having
the knack to create 5000 jobs”. Besides stating that he (Awudu Mbaya) has
offered far more scholarships that Dr Ngwanyam “whose constituency ends only at his St Louis Clinic” in Bamenda,
the stretch of road under contest was constructed with fcfa 75 million from the
state and not from somebody’s pocket as Dr. Ngwanyam claimed. The said amount,
Awudu reiterated was lobbied by him in his capacity as the chairman of the
regional committee of the follow up committee for the public investment budget.
Awudu lamented “it’s shocking that for a
man who claims to know everything, Dr Nick Ngwanyam does not even know that
government can’t allow an individual to construct even a kilometre of public
road. He is telling lies simply because he is in a hurry to see me out of
parliament”. Awudu further
challenged Dr Nick to go and read the signboard on the contested stretch of
road which reads “public investment
budget 2012-mandated to the North West Regional Delegation of Public Works and
to last three months eventhough Ngwanyam claims that Ngala constructed the road
in four months”.
Besides stating that his going back
to parliament is not a do or die affair, Awudu said he has been in parliament
since 1997 and even before that was a wealthy businessman in Douala. The
MP noted that he constructed his first house in Nkambe in 1978 and another in
Njap village in 1980.On some of his achievements in parliament, Honourable
Awudu Mbaya listed the provision of electricity to several villages including
Njap ,Ngi,Mbot,Kungi,Chup,Wat right down Mbah and Mbuwar Government school
,Wowo village,Njilah ,and soon there will soon be electricity in Kup,Wanti and
Mba’a palaces .Last year the former SDO for Donga Mantung,Nzeki Theophile and
SDF chieftain Ni John Fru Ndi were in Tabenken to inaugurate two bridges worth
fcfa 16 million constructed by the MP. Awudu also counted the roofing of
schools in Taku, Mbirbo and schools in
Tabenken as well as churches in the area and youth halls. The most recent being
the two youth halls at Mbabi-Wat.
On the recently ended senatorial
elections Honourable Awudu Mbaya lashed out at Dr Nick Nick Ngwanyam for
accusing the SDF for not spending enough money on its councilors to win the
elections. Hear him ”Dr Nick Ngwanyam
spends time talking about chairman Fru Ndi whom he claims did not share money
to councilors .Ngwanyam was the first person who declared his candidature for
the senate and I used to encourage him and even call him senator. But from the
look of things, I believe in his queer method of doing things that prevented
his list from going through. He was unable to constitute a list and was unable
to be selected from within his CPDM party but does not talk about that. Dr Nick
Ngwanyam should tell us how many bridges he has contributed for their
construction in his village.He should tell us the contribution he has made to
his Ntundip village of origin as far as development projects concerned .He
should not only be quick to criticize others. All that he has done is for
himself is that he has constructed his St Louis Clinic and of course people
should know that the regime Dr Ngwanyam is today supporting chased him from
Bertoua when he gave a true autopsy report about someone who was murdered.The
name Louis which he has named the clinic after is the boy who was killed in
Bertoua”.
Honourable Awudu went ahead to state
that though he has all along supported Shey Jones Yembe including working to
make him member of government, “but if he
thinks all he can do is to empty his accounts to get me out of parliament, then
they should wear their boots because I would not like to see them moving around
with bare feet simply because they want me out of parliament”.
