On the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ambassador Lilian Ofiebor, a front-runner for the Otukpo/Ohimini Federal Constituency seat in the 2027 general elections, declared that "power is never gifted, it is claimed by those bold enough to rise" as she formally entered the race and garnered support from her constituents.

Ofiebor, who recently bought her nomination and expression of interest papers, gave them to her relatives and encouraged them to support her goal and assume communal responsibility for the political process.

She stressed that her candidacy symbolizes a shared movement for justice, unity, and effective representation rather than just a personal ambition, and she called for strong grassroots support.

She described her goal as a defining opportunity for the constituency based on fairness and inclusivity, saying, "This is not just an announcement, it is a moment of alignment."

The candidate honored her paternal and maternal ancestry, pointing out that the ideals of bravery, loyalty, and conviction unite the people of Otukpo and Ohimini.

"A belief that unity is not a slogan, but a duty we must uphold together; a belief that equity is not a favor, but a right," she said.

Ofiebor also encouraged voters to take an active role in determining their political future rather than staying inactive.

She said, “Do not watch this story unfold without participating. Let’s all own it because this is not just my readiness, it is our time.”
