Nigerian 'Uzoma Asagwara' Elected Into Legislative Seat In Canada by tstx(m): 8:56am On Sep 13, 2019 |
Uzoma Asagwara, a 39-year-old Nigerian-Canadian, has been elected into the country’s legislative seat for the New Democratic Party.  Asagwara was one of three black people in the 150-year history of the Manitoba legislative house, CBC News reports. She has been working within her community as a psychiatric nurse and for long has been a community activist in Winnipeg. Until Tuesday's vote, no black person had ever been elected to the Manitoba Legislature in the 150-year history of this province. Uzoma said she is grateful to everyone, who has supported them long before the election. The Nigerian-Canadian is not only a politician and activist, she is also an athlete. Asagwara, a first-generation Canadian whose parents are Nigerian, has worked as a psychiatric nurse and is a longtime community activist in Winnipeg's core. Speaking on her victory, Mrs Asagwara said, “This is a historic moment for our team and our communities.” Mrs Asagwara said that being one of the first Black Member of the Legislative Assembly elected in Manitoba was “wonderful…incredible,” and a “sign that folks are really making sure that our elected officials reflect the communities they serve.” Source: https://listwand.com/nigerian-elected-into-legislative-seat-in-canada/
