Obasi represented Isu, Nwangele, Nkwerre and Njaba Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives for two terms, from 2003 to 2007 and 2007 to 2011.
Speaking to newsmen in Owerri, yesterday, at an event where she officially declared her intention, Obasi said she would outperform Governor Hope Uzodimma, if elected.
She assured citizens of her preparedness to lift the state to a greater level of administration, to offer good governance, and quality leadership and introduce a level- playing ground for stakeholders and citizens of the state.

She said: “Though Uzodimma is on track with good ideas, Imo people need more from a woman that has survived in complex environments to do a better job.”
I have the capacity and vision to lead Imo selflessly.
“I want to appeal to Imo people to encourage a woman to bring new ideas. A woman, who had served as a member of the House of Representatives and in all works of life; and has experience in all areas. I have lived in Nigeria, as well as travelled out of the country. Therefore, Imo people need somebody like me to lead them at this time.”
