The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has charged women to deliver votes for the party and take leadership positions ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He made the remarks on Wednesday during the launch of the PDP Women Campaign Council, which was held at the Congress Hall of the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
Nobody needs to tell him the importance of women in the political process, according to the former vice president, because women constitute the largest voting bloc in Nigeria.

“Women are less corrupt. So, I am challenging you to provide that leadership by giving your 100 per cent at the general election next year. I charge you to display the unique attribute that God has endowed in you so we can succeed. If you want to be relevant, deliver your unit and I believe you can,” Atiku said.
“I call on you Nigerian women to come out, campaign and vote and ensure those votes are counted and protected.”
Women, he said, are the most faithful party members, which is why “we are promoting women to participate in our democratic process.”
Professor Stella Attoe, the party’s National Woman Leader, stated that the PDP women will be the foundation of mobilization and campaigning for the party.
“Our strategy is top-notch and we will gather all the votes from every home, unit, ward, and local government to ensure the victory of Atiku.

“We know where the votes are and we will mobilise them to vote for our party. Nigerians cannot wait to have you restore their hopes and I believe this is the best time for Nigeria To have a leader like you.
“Women are ready to run this race for you as we hit the grassroots as we rigorously campaign for you,” she stressed.
Senator Iyorchia Ayu, the party’s National Chairman, also spoke, saying that while the party’s presidential candidate was vice president, he headhunted most of the women in that cabinet.
