Wife of the presidential flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Dr (Mrs) Jennifer Douglas-Abubakar, has tasked women in Nigeria to vote for her husband, Alh. Atiku Abubakar, in the forthcoming presidential elections for quality representation.
Mrs
Abubakar made this known on Monday in Calabar Cross River State, during
her routine Town Hall meetings in the South South and South East regions
of Nigeria to drum up support for the Atiku presidential ticket.
She
called on women to get their PVCs and ensure that members of their
household do the same and vote for Atiku to change the present politics
and policies that have not worked.
“Getting your PVCs is
a proof that you want Nigeria to change for the better. Get to the
voting centre, cast your votes and protect it. Vote for a better future
which will give a new lease of life to every Nigerian. We cannot
continue to live as slaves in our own country. We have to vote in this
election as if the whole of our future depends on it. This election is a
defining moment for us as a people, and as women who bear the grunt of
bad governance”, she said.
She noted that Atiku if voted
into power will tackle the issues of insecurity, healthcare, revamp the
economy, and will give equity to gender participation.
Speaking
at the event, wife of the Cross River state governor, Dr Lynda Ayade,
gave the assurance that women of Cross River will vote for PDP.
According to her, the state has over 1.5 million registered voters, half
of which are women, who have resolved to redeem their children’s future
by voting out the incumbent government.
The Town Hall
meeting themed “Lets Talk”, had notable women express confidence on
Atiku’s vision to effect the real change and get Nigeria working again.
The
event was graced by Wife of the Vice Presidential candidate, Mrs
Margaret Obi, wife of PDP National Chairman, Pst Nene Secondus, Sen.
Chris Anyawu, Deputy National woman leader of PDP, Haj. Hadiza Umoru,
Sen. Florence Ita Giwa, amongst other women who rolled up their support
for Atiku.
The event was climaxed by a rally, to canvass for support for all PDP candidates.
