She’s unassuming, almost self-effacing radiating beauty in her ever smiling face. Meeting her for the first time, her simplicity would make you want to reckon her as a common house wife in a middle income household. But when you get closer to her, here is a go-getter and an intelligent woman, an amazon whose brief stint (less than two months … beginning 19th December 2022 to date) in politics has continued to shock political watchers. At the time she declared interest to contest for Anambra Senatorial zone, nobody gave her a chance at all. This is considering the big names contesting in that zone. But her outing so far has made opponents have a rethink about her candidacy. She has the right message for the electorates and even though simplicity has become her signature, her messages resonate and permeate that nobody can wish her away in the political scheme of things in Anambra central senatorial zone.
Already, she has three communities in the bag and she is unstoppable in her bid to conquer other communities.
According to her, she’s going to the senate to change the narrative and as a lawyer, she understands the nitty-gritties of law making and is more qualified for the position. To her, “effective representation has eluded Anambra central (and indeed all of Nigeria) and this is the time for resolute representation. Nobody can do it better than me.”
