The member of parliament then entreated his friends to not only organize a ceremony to count his blessings but to register massively and vote during the forthcoming elections in Cameroon.
"All of this has been possible because of the platform that I have. When I got into Parliament, one of my friends advised me to carve a niche for myself. Today I am a recognized digital rights activist and this platform has done a lot of good to my constituents. So I am asking my friends today to register and vote when the time comes so we can maintain this very platform." Hon Agho Oliver said.
Recognized by the Guardian Post daily newspaper as the Most productive MP in 2024, the Divisional Officer for Tubah, Massango Metougue Narcisse, lauded the initiative of the friends of Agho Oliver. He called on them not to relent in their effort in making the Tubah Subdivision an envy of the Republic.
The Divisional Officer went further to announce that in the days ahead a serious crackdown on illegal medical facilities operating in Tubah will commence. "We lost a young girl here three weeks ago because she received the wrong dose of a vaccine from an illicit hospital. We will close down any of such medical facilities in the days ahead. We are encouraging the population to make use of the District Hospital and other medicalized health centers at their disposal." The DO said.
He also encouraged the friends of Agho Oliver to make donations to schools in the subdivision which are in dire need of assistance.
