Mohammed O. Taoheed reports,
A group, the Plateau Grassroots Women for Atiku/Muftwang, has started the mobilization of women, including the youth, across the 17 local government areas of the state to vote for the presidential flag-bearer of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in forthcoming 2023 general elections.
Speaking with the Track News Nigeria, Mrs Christy Nyam, who led the team to Ambassador Yahaya Kwande, in Jos, noted that there is the conviction that Atiku will fulfil his electoral promises based on his pedigree and experience.
“His choice of running mate is excellent and gives us assurance and a ray of hope. Atiku Abubakar has equally released a clear and promising roadmap for the economic recovery of the country. This simply means he is the most prepared presidential candidate in the country.
“We are going to mobilise and encourage women in this state to vote for him because he would tackle poverty, insecurity, unemployment and the infrastructural decay in the country.”
She stressed that her group is set to storm every nook and cranny of the state to drum up support for the PDP candidate as well as the gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in the state, Caleb Muftwang.
Also, the State Secretary, Plateau for the Atiku Movement, Prof. Shedrach Best, commended the women for their courage and determination in the quest to deliver Plateau to Atiku in 2023, adding that they have a key role to play in the journey ahead.
Prof. Best said that Plateau State, being a stronghold of the PDP, will vote en masse for the presidential candidate and the governorship candidate in the state, Caleb Muftwang.
The elder statesman, Ambassador Yahaya Kwande appreciated the women for the bold steps taken to galvanise Plateau women for Atiku Abubakar.
