Citing Her Legislative Experience and Humanitarian Contributions
The National Inter-Tribal and Inter-Religion Alliance for Peace, Unity and Development has endorsed Senator Uche Lilian Ekwunife, CON, FCNA, for a return to the Senate ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The alliance announced its endorsement in a statement following its quarterly meeting at Frazier Suites, Central Business District, Abuja, citing Ekwunife’s political experience, legislative background and humanitarian interventions.
The National President of the organisation, Alhaji Mauruf Abubakar, said the decision reflected her record in public service, legislative contributions and philanthropic activities.
Ekwunife served in the House of Representatives from 2007 to 2015 before representing Anambra Central Senatorial District in the Senate, where she chaired the Senate Committee on Science, Technology and Innovation.
Beyond legislative engagements, she has been associated with initiatives supporting education, women’s empowerment, youth development and vulnerable members of society.
Abubakar stressed that effective representation requires experience, accountability and a commitment to the welfare of the people. He reaffirmed the alliance’s commitment to promoting peaceful coexistence, national unity and sustainable development across Nigeria’s ethnic and religious divides.
The organisation expressed confidence in Ekwunife’s experience and called for greater emphasis on responsible leadership and inclusive development as political activities gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.
