#2019: We Will Neither Vote For Buhari Nor Atiku – Northern Women

President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party and Atiku Abubakar if emerged as Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for the 2019 presidential election would not be voted for in the 2019 elections, a group of Northern women, Kaduna Women Network Consultative Forum have vowed.

The women who stated that the two candidates do not have anything to offer women, added that they would rather mobilize for any female candidate that may emerge from any political party.

This was made known by the National President of the Forum, Zulai Shehu Bello while speaking with Journalists after a one-day sensitization 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).

Bello said 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.
