Arochukwu/Ohafia 2023: Women group drums support for Nwanneka Ekweremadu-Okoro
Ohafia Women Arise Initiative (OWAI), has expressed support for Barr. (Mrs) Nwanneka Ekweremadu-Okoro to become the next house of representatives member representing Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency in 2023.
The group said “It is very important that women’s voices, who represent almost half of the population of Arochukwu/ Ohafia federal constituency are heard.”
The group stated this in a statement signed by Dr. Precious Kalu, National Coordinator of the group on Tuesday afternoon in Abuja.
Kalu said Ekweremadu-Okoro was better positioned to change the narrative by bringing effective representation to the Constituency.
“We are appealing to Barr. Mrs. Nwanneka Ekweremadu-Okoro to join the race for the house of representatives seat for Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency come 2023.
“Without noise, she has assisted many people from the State including Indigenes of Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency through her humanitarian activities. We need people with the right contacts, charisma and proven track records to represent the constituency.
“The greatest mistake our people would be making is to send someone without exposure to Abuja. Mrs. Ekweremadu-Okoro is a seasoned technocrat, result orientated woman with experience and exposure to represent Arochukwu/Ohafia federal constituency.
“If we do not have the presence of women in the Arochukwu Ohafia federal constituency, then we are missing something.
“We need women to be in strategic positions in 2023 starting with the house of reps seat; it is very important that women’s voices, who represent almost half of the population of Arochukwu/ Ohafia are heard.
“We also need a vocal voice with national appeal to represent a sophisticated constituency like ours,” the statement said.
