Hon. Ekwunife
The Senator representing Anambra Central
Senatorial District, Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, has said senators
are committed to ensure peace and unity in the upper chamber.
She said the struggle for positions was normal in any democratic arrangement.
Ekwunife spoke when the women branch of Nri Progressive Union, Abuja, visited her.
She noted that over 80 per cent of
senators were happy with the selection of Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume,
Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, and Senator Francis Alimikhena as principal
officers of the Senate.
The senator added that those who might
not be favourably disposed to the emergence of the principal officers
would be happy with time.
“We want a united Senate family and we will work to achieve that,” she said.
Ekwunife told her visitors that she was part of them and would work to represent her constituents better.
She said: “I am part of you. I am
overwhelmed by you visit. I will always be there for you. You gave me
all your support during my election and you voted for me.”
The President of the union, Mrs. Evelyn
Ejide, said they visited Ekwunife to express their happiness over her
election to the Senate.
Mrs. Ejide said: “We are here to
formally congratulate you and to tell you that we are happy with your
election. One day we will visit you in the Presidential Villa.”
