The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, says she will be re-elected if she decides to run for the same seat in the National Assembly come 2027.
The Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Women Affairs was a guest on Channels Television’s Political Paradigm programme aired on Tuesday.
The Labour Party (LP) senator said, despite the opposition of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, the people of Abuja would re-elect her if she decides to run.
In July 2024, Wike had said 71-year-old Kingibe won’t return to the red chamber in 2027.
However, Kingibe, on Tuesday, said she would win with a landslide if she ever decides to run in the next poll.
The female lawmaker said, “I know that I will win in a landslide victory, bigger than the last one. The last one, bear in mind, that I went to the Senate with one of the highest, if not the highest votes of any legislator.
“And it was not just about (LP Peter) Obi. Yes, he brought some votes, but I also brought some votes to him that would not normally go to him.”
