The wife of the APC presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has taken the campaign to the North East, where she called for serious attention to women empowerment and girl child education.
Tinubu, who spoke at the Northeast Women Presidential Rally in Maiduguri, said women are contributing greatly to the development of the country, adding that if elected, the administration would improve the position of women in the society.
“I will work together with Nana Shettima to address women empowerment, execute charity work, women empowerment and girl-child education in Nigeria because if you educate a woman, you educate the whole society,” she said.
She commended women for coming out en mass to demonstrate their support for her husband despite the fact that it’s a women’s day.
Earlier, the wife of the vice-presidential candidate, Hajiya Nana Kashim Shettima, said they have a fantastic blueprint that would address the plight of women and children, especially orphans, widows and vulnerable children.
She called on women in the region to come out enmass and vote for Tinubu/Shettima for president and to ensure that Senator Aishatu Binani is elected as governor of Adamawa State.
Also, Deputy national women leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Hajiya Zainab Ibrahim, said the women should rally support for Tinubu, being the first governor to take a woman as deputy governor in the country.
