“What have you and I not heard about the old Fox, better still Yellow Kaki in Cameroon politics or life na Njangi, not to talk of his popular saying you do good, you puttam for your kwa, you do bad you dasso puttam na for your kwa, ground no di fool man”.
Cameroon’s one time Prime Minister in the very hot days of Cameroon politics is no more. One time Minister of Justice has gone to meet his spiritual Director, Rock farm and the bearer of the 2nd generation vision for agriculture in Cameroon is gone. What a great lost.
Pa even at the point of his glorious exit remained a committed state man and a passionate farmer.
One time vice President of the Senate, the author of “Santa Maffia group” a political guru bows out leaving a multitude to celebrate his very useful and meaningful years on earth.
I personally see Pa as that kind of a man “with a kind heart like that of a priest and a loving behavior like that of Jesus”. His generosity knew no bounds or limits, I remember how we University students use to celebrate him in those very good old days as being very kind to us, how North West Fons use to celebrate him as a very Generous and open handed Prime Minister.
The entire Press Corp have Pa in their good books, it is not for nothing that he was always called Pa because he was truly a father.
“kungusa, moyo” is gone Santa is crying, even Fru Ndi is weeping the entire Nation is at still, I am personally torched, God have mercy and receive his gentle soul in Heaven. Amen
My last memories and Encounter with Pa Akamancho Achidi Achu at his Yaoundé based Residence Opposite ENAM was so enriching as he explained to us what it takes to die as a happy rich man “Be Good to people and do good as much as possible. For you will never regret doing good or being so kind” wrinkles are meant for those who nurse evil, happy people hardly think of doing bad and long life is meant for the happy” A Dieu Pa
A man in power who clapped and bowed to our traditional rulers was prove of humility to the fullest. Though he argued that power is in the pen and not the people yet his use of power was that which made him appear as nothing in the eyes of people. Memories of you will remain for ever. RIP.
