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.
