For decades, the Orumba North and South Federal Constituency sought a representative who would do more than occupy a seat in Abuja, one who would carry the weight of ancestral lands, the dreams of youths, and the struggles of mothers into the National Assembly.
That search, according to a statement by Concerned Orumba Citizen, ended with Hon. Princess Chinwe Nnabuife (Adaejiejemba), whom the group described as “more than a lawmaker” but “a fearless advocate.”
The group argued that building representation anchored on a solid foundation should not be experimental but treated as responsibility. It said Nnabuife’s first term broke the barriers of “business as usual.”
From her role as Vice Chairman of the House Committee on Monitoring and Evaluation to grassroots-oriented projects focused on ordinary constituents, Nnabuife has shown that gender is not a limit, the statement said. Instead, it is a lens through which she sees the needs of her people “with a great touch of maternal instincts.”
On why a second tenure matters, the group likened a first term to sowing and watering seeds, while a second term translates to harvesting those now-matured seeds for the benefit of Orumba people.
It listed three reasons for continuity: ranking influence, experience, and stability. “A returning lawmaker holds more weight in Abuja. Re-electing Adaejiejemba ensures Orumba stays at the front of the line for federal projects, committee leadership, and budget allocations,” the statement noted.
Having mastered the legislative process, the group said Nnabuife is now positioned to move from advocacy to “even more transformative lawmaking.”
The statement added that changing leadership now would mean “resetting the clock,” while a second tenure would protect the momentum of projects already in motion.
“This is not just about a political party; it is about our identity as a people who value hard work and integrity,” the Concerned Orumba Citizen stated, adding that her impact has been felt in both quiet villages and bustling hubs of Orumba North and South.
“Adaejiejemba has shown that she is a daughter who remembers home. She has stood tall for us in the Green Chamber, and now it is our turn to stand tall for her. Let us finish what we started. For progress, for empowerment, and for the glory of our constituency,” the statement concluded.
