Consequently, he has urged MOHWA to mobilize women behind Manyu politicians who support the ruling CPDM so that the government would invest more in the Division.
Agbor Tabi was speaking recently in Buea during celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of MOHWA.
MOHWA was created in 1999 with the objectives to promote and project Manyu culture, to develop the socio-economic and physical well being of the Manyu woman, to eradicate negative cultural practices and to encourage more Manyu women into leadership positions.
“It does not matter whatever you do, if you don’t do politics, nothing works. I was not minister for 13 years .Today, I am minister. We need a lot of things in Manyu”, he noted.
“I stand here to ask MOHWA to support Manyu politicians-those politicians who support the party in power; this support will give you what you need in Manyu.”
The Assistant Secretary-General promised to help children of Manyu to succeed; but he did not say how he would go about it.
He asked, “MOHWA, do you know why I love you?” And then answered: “Because my policy is to help the children of Manyu women succeed”
The anniversary celebration was chaired by Charles Mbella Moki, Mayor of Buea, who assured MOHWA of his support.Moki had earlier called on the women to rally behind Members of Government from Manyu in order to reap benefits.
