| Adolf Chinje Ndikum |
He is son of late Councilor A.K Ndikum
alias Tebe, the great politician who is said to have changed the face of
politics in Bamenda. He was a charismatic and flamboyant political icon. Adolf Chinje Ndikum (son of late Councilor AK
Ndikum) who returned home after several years in the United States of America
has decided to have a jump-start in politics with the ruling CPDM party in
Mezam I B. Harping on why he has decided to enter into active politics, Adolf
Chinje Ndikum said that he has a keen interest in development and looks to make
an impact that’ll have a positive effect on the Bamenda man. “I feel God has
helped me this far and I want to give back through politics what will be
favourable to development. And I think the CPDM offers that platform” he said.
He further stressed that “I want to
begin from where my dad ended. He was a very successful politician but he did
not reach the hallmark and my desire is to reach the hallmark. I also want to
bring the experience I have gathered during my stay in the United States to add
to have I met so that we could foster development efforts”.
He said he was inspired by the vision of
the Head of State, President Paul Biya and the people-people approach adopted
by Mezam I Section President Paul Nji Atanga. “I was so touched the first day I
met the Section President, Minister Paul Atanga Nji. In fact the euphoria was
splendid given that I had always admired his ways of playing politics in
Bamenda”.
Someone once said that what makes a hero
to earn his distinctive quality and title of being a champion is judged from
where he started. This is nearly unattainable with some politicians nowadays;
however, it may not be the case with Adolf who has teamed Cletus Matoya ahead
of the reorganization of the basic organs of the CPDM in Mezam Ib.
Impressionists are already pointing a
finger at one defining trait that would make him earn his label as a pragmatic
politician. What is important about Adolf Chinje Ndikum is that he is an
easygoing man, down to earth and rich in expedients. He has the thoroughness
that is very rare in some politicians. Meet him for a politician discussion and
you would understand that you have met a refined politician. He is the kind of
politician that is flexible, pragmatic and is ready to press onward moves and admit
others political views. This primary symptoms of his political genuinely, we
gathered has ignited hopes in Mezam Ib given that Adolf is expected to add more
impetus to animate politics in the section. “The presence of politics” Adolf
observed “is not always noticeable to those it affects, but the whole lot one
interacts with is affected by politics”. He further stressed that development politics
can be found as one is driving a car or sitting at home watching television. “A
straightforward way to see politics is to recognize it is in your life at all
times”.
