Cameroonian Politicians and their Individualistic Tenets: The
 |
| Akwa Patrick |
What I like
about politics is the sentimental and caustic paranoia of fingering
those who refuse to participate in the politics of the contest of
mediocrity as bigots and cowards. Some of them do this in defiance to
Chinua Achebe advice that those whose palm kernels were cracked by the
gods must remain humble. Akwa Patrick is a very humble man I ever met.
Soft-spoken and level-headed, I would say he was before entering into active politics.
Unfortunately, the fanatic mind-set of Menchum elite in politics with long outstanding individual madness has caught all. Some politicians have no engagement of idea, just ad hominem and vague rhetorics. Akwa Patrick is now a Daniel come to politics in Weh village. Trying to break yesterday’s record in order not to sound like a broken record holder is what he is out for. As the new electoral process inches into another decisive stage, my friend is making another attempt of overdrives to raise Chop People Dem Money’s electability through football. But the paradox is that Akwa Patrick who happens to be Secretary General in the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable in my knowledge is still to plant a single tree in Menchum Division, when land use and land use changes is hitting hard. Youths, I hear are kicking the air in a mutli-million tournament when they have barely potable water at the turn of the tap. Yet, a typical Akwa political supporter, upon reading the headline of a news and article, he/she has already decided upon the curses and abuses to render on the newspaper, writer, article and then those of opposing political divide. Menchum like Donga Mantung Division is beyond doubt clueless bunches and we need a change in mid-set and not a political “politilies”. Of what use is a political change when the people are clearly not in tune with reasoning and deciphering of issues eh?
