Addressing the 'junior parliamentarians' Thursday, February 11, 2021, at Hôtel des Député in Yaoundé, the youngest Member of the National Assembly from the North West Region re-echoed President Paul Biya's message of hope to the youth.

The lawmaker preached the virtue of patience drawing inspiration from his days of humble beginnings. He said it is imperative for the youth to uphold values of patriotism and civic behavior among others.

“I am where I am today because someone held my hands. I know what it means to relate. I have been mentored. As young people, if you don't learn manners, learn how to relate and how to function, you won't succeed, ”he said while advising them on the need to perfectly liaise with lawmakers from their area.

“… The first thing to do is to identify with the MPs from your constituency. You have to respect them, consult them to find out their activities on the ground before embarking on anything, ”Hon. Agho recommended, adding that the young MPs must at all times seek advice from their lawmakers on public appearance.  

He advised them to shun cocky behaviors once they return to their constituencies, remain respectful to all, and be role models for other young people. He urged them to liaise with municipal, regional, traditional and administrative authorities for the development of the region.

Agho advised them to see how to contribute to the return to peace and normalcy in their areas in their own little way as recommended by the President of the Republic, Paul Biya. He assured that their worries will be discussed with the Questor from the North-West so as to better see how they can meet with them and chart a way forward in Bamenda.

The reception which comes at the end of the 4th edition of the Youth Parliamentary session in Yaoundé was attended by other NW MPs including Hon. Ngang Prodencia Awa of Momo East (Mbengwi), Hon. Kumase Simon Powoh of Mezam South (Santa) and Hon. Nestus Fru Manju of Mezam Center.

The lawmakers pledged to fully support the junior MPs in all their activities and to always liaise with them to ensure the return to peace in all the constituencies. They unanimously enjoined the junior MPs to preach peace to their peers and see how they can lure youth carrying arms in the bushes to surrender, give peace a chance, resume normal life and join in the reconstruction of the region.

On behalf of his peers, the President of the NW junior MPs, Ngafue Marcel Robwoh from Ngoketunjia North Constituency, saluted Hon. Agho Oliver for the wonderful initiative of receiving and providing them with operational directives and promised to extend the knowledge acquired to youth in the region.

“We are going back to the region with a lot of knowledge acquired on different aspects especially moral values… it is our duty as young MPs to contribute to nation-building as indicated by the President in his address to youth,” Ngafue promised.
