The wife of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, on Sunday said a vote for the party was the a sure way of empowering the Nigerian woman.
She said this on an occasion to mark the International Women’s Day, at the APC Presidential Campaign office, in Abuja.
Mrs. Buhari, who was represented on the occasion by the wife of the Nasarawa State Governor, Hajiya Mairo Al-Makura, said the manifesto of the APC had a well detailed plan on how to strengthen the Nigerian woman to contribute meaningfully to national development.
The Presidential candidate’s wife explained that the APC was conversant with the challenges facing women especially in the area of healthcare and access to resources needed to better their lot and that of the vulnerable in society.
She said, “The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day, which revolves around empowering women, is already incorporated in the APC manifesto.
“I am sure the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket will implement every aspect of the document (especially) as it affects women.”
She implored Nigerians to vote wisely for change while enjoining the women folk not to relent in their mobilisation efforts as the election was barely three weeks away.
In her remarks on the occasion, the National Woman Leader of the APC, Hajiya Ramatu Aliyu, said like most Nigerians, women in the APC were tired of the incompetence of the current administration and were yearning for change.
She added, “When you have somebody, who is not capable, who is not competent, who is just not there, trying to denigrate who is just ahead; she might not know. A brain-dead man will not be walking; we need to get the definition of a brain-dead man.
“If any person will call our able, competent general as brain dead — as articulate as our candidate, a man of integrity, of proven stance against corruption, against inequality and everything unconstitutional — as brain dead, I wonder how we are going to describe perpetrators of such acts. Just fill in the blank spaces.”
Speaking at the event, wife of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Mrs. Fati Abubakar, described the International Women’s Day as a day for women to celebrate one another. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
