Birthday Wishes to President Biya from Hon. Agho Oliver

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.

Considering that just like Amos in the bible, whose living to the ripe age of 900 was believed to belong to one of the most exclusive clubs in the old testament; and so too is our President Paul Biya;

Reaffirming the latter and spirit of Psalms 90 (the only Psalms that is credited to Moses), and which Psalms invite those gone past the age of 70, 80, and upwards to apply their hearts to wisdom, exactly what our hero of the day, President Paul Biya has been doing; especially in skillfully managing the multiple conflicts;

Regarding the fact that the bible is clear on the fact that virgin Mary remained with Elizabeth for 90 days for the birth of John the Baptist, and that all the prayers and all the thanksgiving directed directly to God are mentioned just 90 times in the New Testament, Cameroonians have a reason to celebrate the fact that its leadership is having an opportunity to share such symbolism;

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 ship of state to safe shores.
