Women
Your Vote Is Your Weapon – Mrs Buhari
As the clock to
Nigeria’s presidential election ticks faster, the wife of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Mrs. Aishatu Buhari has asked Nigerian women to see their votes as a weapon at their disposal with which to chase the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) out of government which must not be sold for any reason.
Speaking through the Coordinator of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Women Presidential Campaign Initiative, Hajia Salamatu Jibril, at a sensitisation workshop in Abuja early in the week, Mrs Buhari enjoined women not to only cast their votes but also guard their votes jealously until results are announced.
Stressing that the importance of Nigerian women’s active participation in the forthcoming general elections, she urged them all to obtain their permanent voter cards as well as enjoin others around them to also get theirs to enable them vote for APC during the elections.
Meanwhile, Mrs Buhari has enjoined APC leaders to sensitise women on the need to recognise the party’s symbol as well as thumb print their ballot papers correctly to prevent void votes.
