Electioneering: Tinubu’s Wife pledges Husband’s Commitment to resettle Flood Victims
Aanya Igomu, Abuja.
Wife of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Oluremi Tinubu, says her husband, Mr. Bola Tinubu, will resettle victims of flood across Nigeria, if elected president in next year’s presidential election.
Senator Tinubu stated this when she led members of the APC Women Presidential Campaign Team to the Internally Displaced Persons’ (IDP) Camp in Abuja to present relief materials.
While noting the lack of education of the children in the camp, Senator Tinubu pledged continued support to help the IDPs get back on their feet.
“I believe that all those in IDP camps, when the time comes, will be resettled because this camp is dehumanizing.
“We can’t live in our homes and expect our brothers and sisters to be sleeping in sheds.
“I am speaking for me and I believe I am speaking for Mrs. Shettima. We will make sure that we continually remind our husbands of the plight of these people. They have to be resettled.
“These are young, promising children with a very bright future.
“We can see most of them are educated. We can see they have dreams; they have aspirations. Nigeria belongs to all, no matter from what background,”said Senator Tinubu.
In her remarks, Hajiya Nana Shettima, wife of the APC vice-presidential candidate, expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari for his efforts in battling Boko Haram terrorists.
She urged the IDPs to support the APC at the polls and assured them of the party’s commitment to addressing their concerns.
The Women Leader of the camp, Leatu Ayuba, expressed appreciation to the APC Women Presidential Campaign Team on behalf of the IDPs.
“I am very happy and today is our festive day. We appreciate them and we have never had any other presidential candidate reach out to us this way.
“May Almighty God bless them,” she said.
Also in the delegation were the national coordinator of the women’s team, Asabe Vilita-Bashir and her deputy, Lauretta Onochie; wife of the Senator representing Lagos West, Temitope Adeola and wife of the secretary of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Bukola Faleke.
