Member of parliament for Bafut/Tubah Constituency, Hon. Agho Oliver has thanked God for the Life of president Paul Biya, Cameroon's Head of State who turned 90 on Monday February 13th 2023.

At a symbolic event dedicated to celebrate the birthday of the country's president, organized by the member of parliament, thanks to the country's interior minister Paul Atanga Nji, the MP said, for living up to the age of 90, president Paul Biya has "disproved prophets of doom and scientists world over, who have constantly given to the understanding that Africans can never live to such a ripe age and that the life expectancy rate in Cameroon can ever go above 65."

Living to the ripe age of 90, he said, is not by chance nor by power, but a special grace of God, which president Biya incarnates via personal discipline, service to humanity and dedicated leadership.

Hon. Agho Oliver, after quoting the book of Psalms, precisely the 10th verse which reads " Seventy years is all we have - eighty years if you're strong," said, for Biya to go above these numbers, was eloquent proof of God's hands in the life of the president, who's given him unimaginable strength to dedicate more than 60 years of his life in serving this nation.

"In joining our critical voices with those of other well-meaning Cameroonians, we, the active forces of the North West Region of Cameroon, pray God to continue to bless and preserve our leader, President Paul Biya, so he continues to steer the ship of the state to safe shores" he added.
