The APC Nigerian Women in Politics (ANWIP) have sensitised more than 1,000 women in the Federal Capital Territory on the need to register and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).
The National Convener of AWINP, Princes Bola Kazeem, during the sensitisation in Abuja on Tuesday, said women were the deciding factors in elections in Nigeria.
Razak said the only requirement for qualification to vote in the 2023 general election is the possession of PVC.
“If you don’t have your PVC, it means you would not be allowed to vote in 2023 General Election.
“I am calling on all women in the FCT and those in the 36 states of the federation to, without delay, go and register and obtain your PVCs.
“We are the mothers of the nation and we are suppose to show good example to our children, husbands and relations. We can do this by going to register and get our PVCs.
“Also, we are mobilisers. The 2023 General Election is fast approaching and we thought we need to contribute our quota to the scheme of things in the nation’s politics.
“There is need to sensitise our women to get their PVCs, because it is a weapon they could use to usher in a government that would take Nigeria to the next level.
“We know that without PVC, we would not be allowed to cast our votes. That is why we are here; to create impact in APC and Nigeria in general,” Kazeem said.
According to her, women are working very hard in all electoral processes across the country, stressing that they have the numerical strength to decide who becomes the next president of the country.
“We believe that we women can vote Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria. We believe he can bring positive changes to Nigeria and take it to the next level.
“He has the experience to make things happen; he has done it in Lagos, he would do it for Nigeria. Nigeria would be great under Tinubu.
“People are saying he is old, but the truth is that he is not too old to lead Nigeria, he has the capacity to move Nigeria forward.
“The president of USA, Mr Joe Biden, is an old man, but he is performing well for the American people; Tinubu will do better as President of Nigeria.
“We, women in Nigeria will produce over 40 per cent of vote to APC and Tinubu in the 2023 General Elections,” Kazeem said.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that while some women were there with their PVCs, others promised to go and register to get their cards soonest to ensure they vote APC and Tinubu in 2023. (NAN)
