All of it helped me to win.”<br /><br />She added that her win “is a combination of many factors.”<br /><br />"Abuja was completely Obidient from the beginning. And I must say that the Obidient movement also came to look for me to be their senatorial candidate. So, I must have reflected some of their ideals or they won't have done so.<br /><br />"Oh, I believe in the movement and I think Nigeria needs it.<br /><br />“Now whether we can achieve everything in 2023, that needs to be seen, but that is a movement and one that will continue and one that I intend to build and continue to build in the FCT, there's no doubt about that,” she added.<br /><br />
