Buhari and Atiku
A group of Northern women, Kaduna Women Network Consultative
Forum have vowed that they will neither vote for President
Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party nor
Atiku Abubakar even if he emerges as the Peoples Democratic
Party’s (PDP) candidate for the 2019 presidential election because
they have nothing to offer women.
Instead, the women who met in Kaduna Tuesday said they would
rather mobilise for any female candidate that may emerge from any
political party.
National President of the Forum, Zulai Shehu Bello stated this while
speaking with Journalists after a one-day sensitisation program for
women ahead of the 2019 elections on their decision.
The program with the theme,”‘For a better Nigeria, vote women”
was organised by the National Democratic Institute (NDI).
According to Bello, women are natural leaders and come 2019
presidency, they would mobilise and work for any credible female
presidential candidate that would emerge ahead of the presidential
election.
She added that the Forum had since its formation reached out to
other Nigerians on the concern on the current male dominated
politics in the country.
“if we have a credible female woman vying for President, we will
vote for the woman as President and not Buhari or Atiku.”
She said the essence of the programme was to sensitize Nigerian
women on the need for them to support their colleagues in the
2019 general elections across the country.
“we need women to partake in politics. “We are reaching out to
women to come out and vote for Nigerian women.
“We want women in elective or appointive positions. That is why we
are here and we are asking eligible Nigerians to come out and vote
for women,” she added.
