Ahead of the 2023 presidential elections, FCT Minister of State, Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu, has mobilised thousands of women across the 36 states of the federation and FCT to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Sen. Bola Tinubu.
The minister, speaking at the women’s group presentation to the flag bearer of the ruling party, assured Tinubu that Nigerian women were ready to throw their numerical strength behind the APC Presidential candidate.
While calling for unity among the party faithful, Aliyu further stressed that no one would be left behind in this struggle to victory.
According to her, “we stormed this premises to show our numerical strength and to affirm that we mean business.
“This further shows that Nigerian women and APC women are solidly behind our father, the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress.
“We came from far and wide. Precisely, we came from all the 36 states of the federation plus the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).”
Aliyu asked the women to tell others about the many achievements recorded by the party, saying, “if we don’t tell our story, someone else will tell the story from another end the way they like.”
The minister said, “We are united to tell our own stories. We are charting a new course that this journey will leave no one behind.”
In his response, the APC Presidential candidate, Sen. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, commended the women’s group for its solidarity, adding that with teamwork, victory would be guaranteed.
Tinubu said, “I assure you that our campaign team will contact the leadership of all the states. I love you all. And thank you very much. With the support from all of you, victory is guaranteed.”
