“Abakaliki/Izzi is the heart of Ebonyi State – blessed with fertile land, hardworking farmers, intelligent youths, and resilient women. Yet, we remain underserved when it comes to federal presence, infrastructure, and economic opportunity. This negative trend must change and 2027 is our time to effect this desired change.”

“So, I am not afraid of men. I am going to the National Assembly to offer quality representation to my people and I am prepared for it,” she said.
