her foray into politics which is fueled by her desire to serve
She says:
"With all the good wishes, prayers and salutations I have been receiving all week leading to today, I cannot but glorify the King of Kings for His grace, mercy and favour upon my life. It is not by might nor by my power.. My heart is greatly warmed and I have given into a few tears! To be alive today
is a gift I do not take for granted because on the 3rd of June 2012, I may not have been here anymore!!! To Him who has absolute power over my life, I give praise. I may not be able to respond and thank each and
everyone of you for the love and support u have shown me over the years but I thank you indeed from the depth of my heart and pray for greater things in all our lives and
nation, Nigeria. My desire to serve is true but I cannot say much right now because there Is definitely a lot of work to be done on my part and firm decisions made. We
must recognise and remember that change cannot come if we all sit back in the shadows complaining silently. I want to try. We need
to play our part and come out of the
shadows. Let all voices be heard because one person cannot do it alone. Our strength is in our diversity. That's is all I can say for
now but I will update all as things progress.
Thank you again for the overwhelming support and prayers. God bless you all and lots of love..."
Below is what she plans to achieve as a candidate...
I have a strong interest and desire to serve my people and especially show that there is a better more humane way to do things when you are in a position of leadership.
Putting the people first and being
accountable to them as well as being
accessible.
I am also very keen to promote and
champion the provision of clean water, good roads and sanitation in my constituency.
One of my key areas of project focus areas will be provison of affordable education and quality healthcare especially for expecting and young mothers.
