Shufai
Njilahngotong, formerly a frontline militant of the CPDM (Donga Mantung II
Section Ndu) has decided to quit politics. He was an Executive member of the
Section and had also played a very vital role for the growth of the party. The decision
was made public by his son, Tata Kwawi Mbinglo. In the declaration he states
that “In view to keep a lasting legacy
and set an example for other traditional rulers in Cameroon to emulate, My Dad Shufai
Njilahngotong, has officially announced his Decision to stay away from
Frontline politics so as to objectively rule his people as a God chosen leader.
This decision comes up at a time when many people expected otherwise”. Shufai
Njilahngotong it should be noted hail from Fuh-Ndu. He is also the Divisional
Delegate of Transport for Meme Division, in the South West Region.
Tongues
are still waging in Ndu as to why he decided to quit politics. Many of his
supporters who were expecting to see him as one of the contenders for the
position of Section President are yet to recover from the shock. However,
youths all over have described his quitting active politics as gentle move to
stay away from partisan politics. Expressionists are of the opinion that his
decision could be linked to the politics of hatred that is chopping and
dividing elite(s) of Donga Mantung Division. The stakes are really very high as his quitting politics is likely to impact the party. This is so given that he was a political strategist and a master-planner in politics of proximity.
Who is Shufai Njilahngotong
Njila Isaiah Tata aka Shufai
Njilangotong is a multifaceted. He is a traditionalist, a village head,
writer-musician and astute administrator has always stood against
political tension and intrigues taking the minds of some politicians and has
quite often decried the politics of acrimony, blackmail and hatred that
characterizes politics in Donga Mantung Division in the North West Region
because some people have transformed the game of politics into a sinkhole for
character assassination. Njila Isaiah Tata who by the Mbum tradition was
enthroned village head for Fuh in Ndu as per costume and tradition had to be
called Shufai Njilangotong. Besides, he was Donga Mantung Divisional Delegate
for Secondary Education where he was admired for doing uncommon things in a
very common way, and an educationist who has served as principal for over 16
years before being catapulted to the position of delegate. In 2008, Njila
Isaiah Tata was distinguished by Donga Mantung Association of Journalists-DOMAJ
as the All Best Principal again All Round Best Divisional Delegate by The Eye Newspaper
in 2011 Achievement Award. He later moved to the Ministry of Transport, where
he is presently Divisional Delegate for Transport in Meme Division of the South
West Region. When makes him different
from others is that ever since he joined politics, his style was very singular
from the usual politics of hatred, acrimony, bitterness and blackmail that has
characterized Donga Mantung politicians.
He has been described as a man of
additional qualities. Unlike others he always busy round the clock. As a
seasoned administrator, he believes like Immanuel Kant that “the more we are
busy, the more we feel we are alive and contributing for the welfare of
others”. His enlightening background coupled with his dedication to be perfect
has made her to transform the principle of edification for work into the
principle of teaching through work. As a Christian Baptist Christian, Njila
Isaiah believes like Martin Luther King that “working is praying”.
