Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) for the Lagos East senatorial by-election, Ms Mercy Adeoye has urged women to become more politically savvy by supporting one another when seeking elective positions.

Adeoye, a gospel artiste popularly known as AMA, made the appeal while speaking in Lagos.

She said that women needed to wake up from slumber and learn to rally round one another.

According to her, if supported and given the mandate, there will be massive empowerment for women to reduce their sufferings.

Adeoye urged women to support her ambition in order to secure a better tomorrow for themselves and their children.

On her chances in the election, Adeoye said that the feedback from campaigns was encouraging, hence, her determination and zeal to represent the district in the senate.

If elected, Adeoye said she would conscientiously focus on provision of affordable and quality education for school children as panacea to many challenges facing the society.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had last Thursday postponed the by-election earlier scheduled for Oct.31, following violence that trailed #EndSARS protest in the country. INEC has yet to fix a new date for the poll. (NAN)
