Goldennewng reported that Kingibe sacked Philip Aduda from Senate after 12 years of occupying the position.
Speaking on Arise TV on Friday, Kinigbe said her victory was a combination of many factors that include the ‘Obidient’ movement as well as the political consciousness of women to elect a female representative.
According to her, the FCT completely supported the ‘Obidient’ movement and Nigeria needs it.
She said: “No doubt, the Obidient movement helped me to win. All of it helped me to win. It is a combination of many factors.
“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.
“Oh, I believe in the movement and I think Nigeria needs it.
“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”
