She noted that she will continue to advocate for the revival of the Ajaokuta steel company when she becomes the Senator of Kogi Central.
“We have NIOMCO in our local government which hosts the iron ore, even though we have advocated for the revival of Ajoakuta steel company, each time we have spoken for Ajaokuta steel, we have also campaigned for Itakpe iron ore which will boost the economy and livelihood of the people when it starts working.
“I plead with you all to pick your PVCs and turn out in your numbers in your various polling units and vote for PDP, don’t sell your vote, don’t let anyone intimidate you.

fighting for her people.
