Re: The Fall of AGBOR TABI

Greetings to all.

We can't title the death of any body as "a fall".

Let us try to be a bit human. Death is final destiny for both good and bad. 

I  find this a serious misuse of language. 

Regards.

Mr. Akoson,

You can't disrespectfully write to wish Prof./Chief Agbor Tabi peace at death when you accuse him of trying to kill you for siphoning CPDM support to PAP during your political struggles in Manyu. It's so disingenuous of you to state you did not want to comment and then finally comment to make this unsupported calculative claims on a highly accomplish, highly respected honorable public figure. What ever you did with PAP and what ever metamorphosis you want to bring to Manyu, go ahead now that he has passed, we are waiting to see and experience it in our lifetime. But it will be wrong for you to attempt to destroy the public image of a man who loved his division and people with impeccable passion and worked so hard within the political means available to him to improved the lives of many in Manyu, South West and Cameroon as a whole.

Mr. Raymond,

 

Your write up is impressive. You took a balance view of Prof. Agbor Tabi. His is just what every Manyu man does when they ascend to heights and have always made sure no one ventures. There was nothing wrong for Prof. Agbor Tabi to want to be Prime Minister the country. He like all of us have the right to nurse such ambitions. But it is always wrong to stand on the way of others. I do not imply that the Professor did that because I have no evidence to support such an allegation. We will miss him. The comfortable thing is that everyone of us will surely go one day though most Cameroonians these days think they will live for ever. During my short stay in Cameroon, I have come to realize that the most unpatriotic people in the world are Cameroonians. They do not ask what they can do to Cameroon but what Cameroon can do for them. Especially those in the government. Not everyone of them but most of them. We still have good Cameroonians in the government. Those Cameroonians who lament of the deplorable state of our country. Where government has become an elephant to milk. Government takes in one about 5% of income that should enter the coffers of the State. 95% is eaten by the people the same government pays salaries and wages. From the messenger to the highest personnel. It shocks the conscience! I am not just saying it. I have seen and experience it. I hope the Professor would fight to change things in the life after this. He may not be able to come back, but like the Biblical rich man who found himself in hell, tell God, can I go and warn my people. I am not implying that the Professor is in hell because I am not God. If he is in heaven as I hope he is, let him intercede for Cameroon. Corruption has consumed the fabric of our nation. I wonder if one can find 5% of people in Cameroon who are not corrupt.

AGBOR TABI'S FALL

For some personal reason, I didn't want to publicly comment on the demise of Agbor Tabi. However, I've had to change my mind given unending private and public calls for comments. These calls are legitimate especially as the deceased and myself clashed in Manyu twice at the 2011 and 2013 presidential and twin (parliamentary and council) elections respectively.

I was one of the youngest parliamentary candidate at the 2013 polls in Manyu. Prior to the election, I'd bulldozed through villages and hosted PAP flags, converted CPDM die-hearts to PAP. My youthful energy was contageous. Tens of thousands of young people and women lined up behind my vision, "Manyu Metamorphosis". This got Agbor Tabi and his CPDM men panic-stricken. And a not-too-distant relative of the Akosons had confided in me that Agbor Tabi had sought a secret plan to "kill that young man trying to disturb us".

I don't want to go touch on sensitive issues but if I must heed to popular demand to comment, I summarise the two sides of the Agbor Tabi story:

1. He was a man who fought long and hard to see his division of origin imprint on the Cameroonian triangle. Although he elbowed his fellow Manyu brethren from overtaking him, as a Manyu son, I applaud his love for Manyu.

2. He was one of the sheepish disciples of president Biya's despicable regime who, amongst others presided over a country that has become a laughing stock in the eyes of the international community. Posterity will remember him as one of those men who caused Cameroon move hundreds of years back. His discipleship was primordially for selfish aggrandisement. Nature caught up with him, thus preventing him from achieving his greatest dream of becoming the PM.

These two sides of his lifetime story do not cancel but complete each other.

We need to note that there always will be some who will miss him but unfortunately, others will just not! That is life and it will happen to you and me.

May his soul rest in peace.

Akoson A. Raymond,
PAP Secretary General

"…Time has come, I believe, for our leaders to start training the youths to take over the baton. Effective, efficient and rigorous training does not constitute issuing subservient roles; rather, it involves sitting side by side on the round table for law, policy and decision making and thorough brainstorming on the normative values that undergird progressive issues. Ayah Paul of PAP takes great pleasure in working with the youths. I am proud to work with him..." Akoson A. Raymond.
