2023 Election: Obiano’s Wife Picks APGA Nomination Form For Senate
The wife of the immediate former Governor of Anambra State, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, has picked her expression of interest and nomination forms to contest for the Senate seat of Anambra North District in the 2023 general election.
This is coming some hours after the Chief of Staff to the former governor, Mr Primus Odili, declared interest to run for the same seat.
According to a statement issued on Wednesday, Ebelechukwu Obiano, was accompanied to the All Progressives Grand Alliance National Secretariat in Abuja by party members, stakeholders, transition committee chairmen and numerous supporters, where she bought her nomination form.
Obiano had earlier announced her intention to her constituents and party faithfuls early in March at her residence in Aguleri, Anambra East Local Government Area.
According to her, the situation of the people, majorly women and Children from the rural communities of her constituency, gingered her decision to hearken to the demonstrations and pleas from several groups and organisations to represent the zone at the 10th national assembly.
She maintained that her interest is majorly about service to God and mankind and not just for the pleasure of political power.
The former First Lady added that she will continue her advocacy for a better life for women and children of Anambra North and Nigeria at the Senate Chambers by pushing for Bills and debate motions that will be in their interest.
“I have used my position as a first lady to give hope to the hopeless in the society, cared for children with deformity and disability, built houses for homeless widows, rehabilitated and reunited mentally challenged people with their families, amongst many others. I will continue my divine call to be a blessing to humanity“, she said.
