During an impromptu speech on the occasion, Princess Onuoha sang and gave high commendation to Uzodinma for being gender-friendly in the appointments he made and for also supporting her election into the National Assembly.

Onuoha, who represents Onuimo, Okigwe, Isiala Mbano (Okigwe North) Federal Constituency of Imo State, sang and danced while giving her speech in praise of Governor Uzodinma.

She said, “On behalf of myself and the entire women of Okigwe North, I want to thank his excellency for being a gender sensitive governor. I thank him because, over 45 per cent of people in government are women.

” I commend him because, as we all know, the acting chief judge (of Imo State) is a woman… And a whole lot of commissioners, permanent secretaries that were recently sworn in.

” I thank you also for endorsing me to become the Member, House of Representatives which no woman has occupied in Okigwe North.”

She said the number of women participating in government under Uzodinma represents the “shared prosperity” enjoyed in the state.

Then she turned to Oliver Twist(who always asks for more) when she asked the governor to provide more slots for women and support them for national politics.

She said, “I am the only woman in the National Assembly, I will like to use this opportunity to ask your Excellency to ensure more women join me” to play national politics.

“When you give men, you also give women,” she added.
