Khadijah Okunnu-Lamidi, daughter of former Federal Commissioner for Works and Housing, Lateef Olufemi Okunu and first woman to declare her interest to run for the 2023 presidential race under the platform of the Social Democratic Party, SDP has found her groove back.
Following her desire to run for the highest office in the land, she was unfortunately disqualified and advised and encouraged to seek other positions such as a local government chairman, member of the state House of Assembly or the National Assembly.
The ambitious woman had taken the disappointment in her stride but promised to continue supporting her party in her own capacity.
A few months after her disqualification, the party appointed her as the Deputy Director-General of its Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) for the upcoming general election.
She was appointed to ensure maximum productive engagement with the electorate.
The party praised her for remaining steadfast in the party with a resolve to play an active role in the revitalisation of Nigeria’s reform agenda.
