She made her intention known to the state executives of the party and other stakeholders, who gathered at the state secretariat of the party to hear her declaration. Nwaogu, who represents Abia Central senatorial district, and holds two records of being the first woman from Abia to take a seat at the House of Representatives and the Senate, insisted that her gender would not be a disadvantage in her quest to succeed Governor Theodore Orji. “If my party will support me I will run for the post of governorship. It is my aspiration, my desire,” she said, adding that she has the qualification and experience to pilot the affairs of Abia state if given the mandate to govern Abia”. The Senator, already reputed for her massive empowerment programmes, said nobody should judge her by gender but on qualification and antecedents, noting that she has over the years proved her capability to serve the people creditably. The Abia Central Senator, who is the Senate committee chairman of gas, assured listeners that she would build on the framework already laid by Governor Orji, whose legacy projects have formed the foundation for a new Abia state. Chairman of Abia PDP, Senator Emma Nwaka lauded Nwaogu for according the party executives the respect by coming to the party secretariat to declare her intention, assuring listeners that the party “will provide a level playing ground for everybody.”
