[1] She was re-elected in 2007, but her second election was appealed by Alphonsus Obi Igbeke, the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) candidate.

She attended the Queen of the Rosary College, Onitsha and went on to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka where she earned a B.Sc.

In 1995 she represented Nigeria at the Third African-American Summit in Senegal and at the World Women Conference in Beijing, China.

A few days later, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) reversed this decision, and declared Emmanuel Anosike as the winner.

INEC had earlier returned Anosike as the winner of Anambra East/West Federal Constituency of the House of Representatives.
