Senatorial 2018: CPDM Endorses Regina Mundi, Dumps Achidi Achu, JB Ndeh, Awanga



The Central Committee of the CPDM has flushed out former Prime Minister's candidature for the March 25, 2018 Senatorial elections. Senator Achidi Achu was dropped from the list of contenders though he submitted a list and was also heading one of the CPDM lists from the North West Region.  According to a source linked to the central committee of the CPDM, the heavyweights who were also dropped included JB Ndeh, Senator Awanga Zacharia, Senator Walang Akwo David  and Ngafeeson Emmanuel. The greatest losers will however be Achidi Achu, Walang David and Awanga Zacharie (former senators who will not go back to the senate except maybe through appointment.
The question as to whether who will be appointed from the North West Region has been rife. The political elite who attempted to contest but their aspirations were short-lived are all positioning for appointments. What is however clear is that some of them will be shocked at who will be appointed.
By this, it implies that out of the 10 senators from the North West, seven will be elected while three will be appointed. Candidates who were endorsed by the CPDM Central Committee include:

Head of the list: Regina Mundi (Mezam) Replaces Achidi Achu
Atanga Charles( Momo) replaces Awanga Zacharie
Nji Fidelis (Menchum) replaces Walang David
Emma Lafon(Bui) maintained
Dingha Ignatius (Ngoketunjia) maintained
Wanlo John (Boyo) maintained 
Chebonkeng Martina( replaces late Jikong


Will the Njangi Politics take Pa Achu back to senate or His failure emits the collapse of Santa Mafia

One of the major challenges and debate nationwide has been the capability of some elected officials (senators especially) to tackle development process in their sphere of influence. The aging political class that incessantly does hang to power has also been considered as another obstacle to Cameroon’s emergence. Since time memorial, Northwesterners have been suffocating under the pangs of Senator Simon Achidi Achu, one time Prime Minister, Head of Government. This untold situation and state of nature is quite glaring if a critical judgment analysis is made on his persistent nature of always enticing the masses that “politics na njangi”. The question as to whether Achidi Achu would ever give way for any other person to benefit from that “politics weh na njangi” concept which he planted remains another great wretchedness of the century has been defeated. Now that he is out, hope he doesn’t work his way back through appointment.
This is so because the njangi politics only has a meaning when he (Achidi Achu Simon) is the one to chop. Meaning, that every time you scratch his back, never look back for him to scratch your own back. On the contrary, you might receive a slab on the back at the time you would be expecting a scratch on your back from him politically. The central Committee just gave him that slab on the back as payback to what he did to others.
Senator Simon Achidi Achu is I may say political God father to many is worshiped by sycophants as some Northwest continues to suffer from that code of belief of his. His political gimmicks and tricks have been such that there is always a Roman Arch to keep potential North West rising politicians from excelling. To him, Santa captures the tenets of the entire region. This state of nature could best be captured for us by Thomas Hobbs who like Jean Jacque Rouasseau in the theory of political legitimacy demonstrated that the notion of general will is wholly central but it is however, an unfortunately obscure and controversial believe. In the Discourse on Political Economy, Rousseau emphasizes that the general will exists to protect overzealous individuals against the masses, not to require them to be sacrificed to it. He was aware that men have selfish and sectional interests which they will always use to suppress others. Pa Achidi Achu after all, has played politics and gave it a meaning.He deserves to retire as political encyclopedia.
