"I am somebody who from birth likes being with people, sharing with and helping them. I am happy when I make people happy. In the University of Benin in Nigeria, I took part in elections and was voted the student union leader. When multi-party democracy started in Cameroon 1990, I decided to join active politics in order to contribute and solve people's problems at the national level. By joining active politics I wanted to sacrifice for the wellbeing of the people through acting as a link between the government and the people.
I have the conviction that being the bridge between the government and the local population, I would stand a better position to present their problems to government and fight for social and economic amenities to better the living conditions of the people. Decision-makers have always listened to the cries to the local population through me.
To me, the National Assembly is one of the major institutions where I could contribute to the development of Cameroon by voting laws that affect the life of the country. Memorable among the bills we voted in Parliament that are now law include those on decentralisation, Elections Cameroon (ELECAM) and the amendment of the constitution. All these bills happen to have passed through the Constitutional Laws Committee of the National Assembly in which I am member. My contribution to the development of Cameroon through the National Assembly is due to my long experience.
In started with campus politics in the University of Benin in Nigeria. Back in Cameroon, I joined politics in 1990 by militating in the National Union fro Democracy Progress (NUDP). My people were not happy with the ruling governing because they did not have many amenities. So they sent me to Parliament to table their problems on the opposition bench.
As time went on government started solving the people's problems and the population saw the need to turn to ruling CPDM. In 2002, they voted me to Parliament on the CPDM ticket and at the same time elected me the Manyu I WCPDM President. The same thing happened in 2007".

Who ever told you that the people of your Manyu Community are happy with you?
My sister people are happy if they can feed their families, pay school fees, transport thier crops to the market and move freely from one region to the other. Please do not praise yourself, just wait for your people to see what you can do and acknowledge. Thanks.
Disgusting corrupt, self centered woman, that is why u took 25 million to enslave cameroonian people,biya the king to soon fall! at PAN AFRICAN PARLIAMENT in south Africa u needed to see the shame on ur colleagues faces, illegal hand picked parliamentarians from Cameroon, the day of ur doom is very near!! Cameroonians will see to that, Kamerun Obosso!
Woman you should go to hell. Whoever fooled you that you are a politician must have eaten poisonous mushrooms. How dare you insult our people by calling yourself a politician. If you got that from the university of Benin as you claim, I am calling back our ambassadors there as a sign of protest! To have someone like you on the list of anglophone politicians is supreme folly.
Respect is something which has to be earned. Allow the people of your community to congratulate you based on the achievements you have brought to them, if at all there is any.
Greetings,
Alfred
