Quotes

[edit]
  • I thank God for the privilege to serve our President, Goodluck Jonathan as well as distinguished Senators and honourable members who showed me great solidarity every step of the way.
  • We (women) cannot be satisfied with the appointment, how can we be satisfied with even the number depleting from what we had before; instead of increasing, it is decreasing. And if you look at the total population of Nigeria, I believe that women comprise more than half of the population of Nigeria and aside from that, we have very competent women that will be able to do the job. Women that have the capacity and uncommon energy for the assignment, so I don’t see how or why we should get lesser number of appointment when we are already crying that the number we have is not enough. I am not sure we even got up to one percent.
  • Life in the Senate was one of the most memorable moments of my life as it gave me the opportunity to pursue one of my core passions, which is to reboot and revive our educational system
  • l assure the party of my loyalty and support and to work for the success of the party.
