Post Election Press Statement On The Conduct Of The November 11th, 2023 Off Cycle Governorship Election In Bayelsa State, Nigeria

I commend Senator Akpabio for his maturity, I have always known him as a man who values the female gender.
I also want to encourage the advocacy for women to be given special priority in contesting for political positions, more awareness needs to be created, it was not easy for me to emerge as the first female elected Councilor of my Ward at the age of 34 years, I was even rejected by fellow women, it took me extra energy and the intervention of the wife of ABIA State Governor to be able to emerge at the primaries, I had to spend extra in advocacy visit to women forums of my constituency to canvas for votes and get them to believe in my candidacy, I refused to be discouraged by major factors, if sponsored, I aim to go higher in my political aspiration.
We need to increase awareness on women supporting women campaign even as the supported women work hard to make a difference in the community in order to encourage voters.
I personally hope and desire to attract as much development as I can to my community.
