Quotes “The driving force for me is definitely the people. The people are very important. When I look at the people of Ovia Federal Constituency, I see their yearnings, I see their desire, I see the needs that they want to be met and the needs that have not been met. I see their plight. It is on that basis, as well as being somebody that believes in nation building and wants to be part of the nation building that I decided to contest once more to represent the good people of Ovia Federal Constituency.” Nigerian Tribune “Women deserve to have their needs represented by someone who truly understands them, women deserve the opportunity to participate in the political space and occupy a seat at the decision-making table.” The Nation “To the young women in Ovia, whether in an official capacity or not, I shall continue to fight for us and champion our issues. Women let’s ask for more, we deserve more.” The Nation “I believe that there are several areas that I will have to look at to draw development to my constituency; from roads, to water, electricity these are key areas. Like I said, the constituency is both rural and urban.” Nigerian Tribune “We need to call these people what they are, we do not need to put an ethnicity or religion tribe to whatever they are doing. We should label them what they are, which is terrorists, they are terrorizing our people and they are a great threat to our country, democracy and food security.” Nigerian Tribune “I want to make sure my people in Ovia will be assured that they will go to their farms and feel secure, and I would like to support those farmers.” Nigerian Tribune “I am not tribalistic in any way myself being a mixed parentage. I believe the unity of Nigeria is sacrosanct and we must all continue to thrive for peace and live in unity.” The Guardian External links Category:1981 births Category:Living people Category:Nigerian lawyers Category:Nigerian politicians Category:Members of the House of Representatives (Nigeria) Category:Women politicians Category:Nigerian women activists
