I read that going by the supreme audit report, Minister Atanga Nji
illegally received into his account some 469MFCFA while he was serving as cadre
at CAMPOST. The amount, according to the report was deposited into account No.
031562–004–58 bearing the name “Ets des Jeunes homes d’affaires” but owned by Mr.
Atanga Nji.
We all read of many instances of this kind; for the Permanent National
Security Secretary who by dint of his political astuteness has fragilized the
opposition from its stronghold Bamenda and brought the CPDM and some members of
the SCNC for his party and National President, and has won glory for himself by
his victory over the weakened opposition, and has loaded himself double
appointments, acquired necessarily by himself from the National President of
the CPDM, so high a reputation, that his very victory has become distasteful,
and a cause for apprehension to his detractors.
The Philosopher Jean Paul Satre asserts that “the end justifies the
means”. And cognizant of the fact that the central and legitimate characteristics
of man is ambition as he struggles to regain his lost glory John Milton: “Paradise
Lost”, and the obstacles to this journey (Nitzche) can be suspicion etc, it
is not impossible that the suspicion that has suddenly arisen against the
emblematic Minister of Special Duties and Permanent National Security in the
mind of his detractors have been aggravated by some complacent expressions
normal with the man of conviction (but I believe it should be mitigated with
some humility). All of these coming up so
that the National President will be made to be distrusting the Minister.
And to do this, the means that suggest themselves to the National
President are either to have the Minister arrested or to deprive him of his
reputation which he has acquired through his hard work and support of the
people. His detractors by using such Machiavellian means to prove that the
Minister’s success was not due to his hard work, skill and boldness, but to the
wisdom of the other CPDM bigwigs who were with him in that struggle, chance and
the weakness of the opposition is not true. To conclude in civilized and
conventional partisan political gaming sterile emotionalism and
confrontationalism should be avoided.
Yes, baseless criticisms should never dampen the efforts of any man
doing what he is doing with the fear of God for critics will always be there (Alexander
Pope - An Essay on Criticisms, Cardinal
Newman and Professor Bernard Nsokika Fonlon)
