Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential flag-bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appreciated the efforts of APC Professionals Council, urging them to work more on mobilization of more Nigerians at the grassroots ahead of the polls.
While speaking at the official inauguration of the Women Wing of the Council over the weekend, Tinubu claimed that the professionals are the tree of the nation’s growth and development, calling for the inclusion in management of Nigeria’s affairs.
As represented by his Special Adviser on Media, Tunde Rahman, the former Lagos State Governor, shown his acknowledgment to the leadership of the council under its Director General, Seyi Bamigbade for its consistency in ensuring the support base of APC in the grassroot, assuring that he will continue to identify with the council.
Similarly, the wife of Kaduna State Governor, Hajia Asia Ahmed El-Rufai, also praised the outreach of the council and its women wing for their indefatigable efforts in ensuring that the party emerges victorious in the presidential elections comes 2023.
In her words, women have a vital role to play in the country’s development and nation building, urging the women wing of the council to take the message of women inclusion to all corners of the nation.
Speaking with Track News Nigeria, Dr. Betta Edu, the APC National Women Leader, expressed optimism that the inauguration of the women wing of the council will open a new vista in women inclusion in politics in the country.
She promised the support of her office in the programmes and agenda of the council, adding that time has come for professionals to be included in the management of the country’s affairs.
Chairman House Committee on Women Affairs and Social Development, Adewunmi Onanuga, commented that women wield a humongous number that can change the nation’s political atmosphere.
She said fresh research pointed that women are better managers of both human and material resources, asserting that giving women roles in leadership will result in tangible gain in fostering democratic dividends.
Recall that Ronke Soyombo, the Director of the Women Wing of the Council, had noted in our earlier report that the country will be missing a lot if the women are not given the chance to be part of the decision-making body of the nation.
She claimed that the women are not confrontational but advocating that they should be given a level playing field to serve their fatherland.
