APC Chieftain Urges President Tinubu To Ensure Gender Equity In appointments

A Chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta, Mrs Veronica Adesotu has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to ensure that women are well represented in his administration.

Adesotu, who is the initiator of the APC Female Aspirants 2022/2023 Forum made the appeal on Thursday in Abuja.

She said by doing so, President Tinubu would offer women the opportunity to effectively contribute their quota to the country’s development.

She said; “APC Female Aspirants Forum had in its fold women with high intellectual capacity who were ready to unleash their intellect and positive energy for the growth of the nation.”

She also said their inclusion in the cabinet and other key positions was critical to move the country forward and delivering Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.

She said that “loyal APC female members believed that Tinubu would emerge victorious in the Feb.25 election even when some people in his political fold doubted his abilities.”

Adesotu, a former aspirant of Aniocha North seat in Delta House of Assembly said female politicians in APC who stood with Tinubu deserved to be compensated with political appointments.

She advised President Tinubu to shun sentiments in selecting his ministers and other top members of his administration, saying that only deserving loyal party members should be considered.

Adesotu said it was time for Tinubu to clear his name of all negative propaganda levelled against him ahead of the elections by putting in place policies and programs that would improve the well-being of Nigerians.

She expressed optimism that like he did when he was governor of Lagos State, President Tinubu would make history and turn around the fortunes of Nigeria.
