I want to thank God for this wonderful day. I know my people know me too well. I know Ebonyi people know me too well including Ezza nation. Yes, I’m a political woman. I am a politician. And I believe politics is a game of interest.

What I want to tell us is that I have come to APGA and I have come to stay. I did not come to watch or look around but to stay. And I will join hands with the leaders there to make it better because I know that it’s Governorship candidate, Professor Benard Ifeanyi Odoh is the person that will rule Ebonyi State come 2023”, she maintained.
