Ebelechukwu Obiano, the wife of former Anambra governor Willie Obiano, has announced that she will run for a Senate seat in the 2023 general election.
She is running for the Anambra North senatorial seat, which is currently held by former minister Stella Oduah.
The former first lady told journalists in Awka, Anambra's capital, on Wednesday that she decided to run for politics because of "pressure from my people."
Mrs. Obiano stated that running for office in the general election is "God's will."
"My decision to run for senator is in reaction to enormous pressure and requests from my constituents to represent them in the Senate at the National Assembly in Abuja," She said.
Service to people, humanity, spreading love, and putting smiles on sad faces are my priority in life, as attested to by the lovely people of Anambra state, and I know that it is God's plan because the Bible teaches that God is love.
“Therefore, having witnessed and been positively touched by my ever willing disposition to care for people, empower the poor and needy, especially women and children, particularly widows, orphans and the destitute, my people decided that I should come and serve them better in a higher capacity.” Cable
