“I am proud of our women and their tremendous contribution to our party’s greatness and it is partly because of this that the PDP will be returned to power at all levels. They have given us the cutting edge we need to win this 2015 election and they will be handsomely rewarded with even more part in governance.
“My message to our women is to keep going for it because victory is in sight and our hands are open to grab it. Nigerians will be glad that they voted for the PDP instead of those who want to change a winning team without providing a better alternative.
“I am therefore delighted and wish to thank our women for the pivotal role they are playing to ensure that we pip the opposition when the last votes are counted in this week’s general elections beginning with the presidential election.”
Mu’azu insisted that the PDP had provided the females with substantial support making Nigeria the leading African nation to promote the course of women in governance.He praised President Goodluck Jonathan for such development.
“I am sure the president will top up the percentage of women in his next cabinet when he is re-elected this weekend. Needless to remind everyone that the PDP has given women the most powerful positions in government such as petroleum and finance.”
He also expressed admiration with the speeches made by the PDP women.
“I can’t but admire their resilience and their oratorical power as they campaign and spread our message across the country.
“In particular last week, Mama Peace [Patience Jonathan] was leading the Port Harcourt and Lagos campaign of our women wing and giving a good account of her experience in politics. She was dynamic, robust and filled with energy as she campaigned for our cause all the way while Mrs Amina Sambo at Osun, Kaduna and Zamfara was magnificent and driving the wedge across with the dexterity of a seasoned politician.”
It is worth noting that Dame Patience often speaks during the PDP campaigns about opportunities given to women by Jonathan-led government.
She urges women to aspire for leadership at the same time saying that Muhammadu Buhari, the APC presidential candidate, did nothing for the female population while he was in the office.
