2023: Women Charged To Deploy Their Numerical Strength At Polls

Womenfolk in society have been called on to come out en masse to demonstrate their numerical strength at the polls next month.

Naija News reports that the call came from the Executive Chairman of the Itire-Ikate Local Council Development Area, in Lagos state, Dr Ahmed Olanrewaju Apatira.

According to him, women in society should come out to take their rightful positions in nation-building by coming out on election day to vote.

He said women possess greater influence in nation-building because they are pillars in every home, hence the need for them to deploy their numerical strength to ensure victory for all candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming elections.

Apatira made the call at a strategic meeting with various women groups organized by the women’s affairs and poverty alleviation department of the council secretariat ahead of the February 25 presidential election.

He advanced that “ The strength of a woman cannot be underemphasised. Even God has a reverence for this special specie. They hold a special place in every home because they are our pillars of support. They have the numerical strength to make things happen.

“Therefore as we count down to the February 25 presidential and March 11 governorship elections, I am urging the womenfolk to deploy their numbers and vote massively for our great party.

“Winning is our culture in the APC and by the grace of God, we will replicate this culture for our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and all other candidates of our great party in the coming election.

“To make this happen, however, I want to appeal to us all to have our PVCs ready for the task.

“If there is anyone of us that is yet to collect his or her, please let us do so because this election is very important.

“Apart from our leader being on the ballot, it is important to win to keep enjoying the dividends of democracy and good governance under the Progressives.

“I am assuring that this will be another opportunity to elevate the status of women in the quest for their inclusion in nation-building.”
