….as Adamu insist no option but an APC-led presidency
Senator Remi, the wife of the presidential candidate of the ruling All progressive congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has promised to rally the womenfolk to ensure the victory of her husband in the 2023 poll.
Speaking when she led the Tinubu/Shettima presidential women’s council to the national secretariat of the party in Abuja, she said the council would not rest on its oars to achieve the objective.
Mrs Tinubu explained that the meeting by members of the campaign council was aimed at fine-tuning the strategies to mobilise the vast majority of women voters for candidates vying for various elective seats on the APC platform at the poll.
Mrs Tinubu assured that the Tinubu led presidency would consolidate on the gains recorded by the President Muhammadu Buhari administration since May 2015.
She noted: ‘”What the incoming administration would achieve is to consolidate all the works that our President Muhammadu Buhari is doing and I can tell you, I’m not new in government, we’ve been there working.
“I believe that with what he has done so far, the next administration will be able to consolidate on that.
“But we are here to tell you that the Nigeria women, we are ready. I want to reassure the chairman that we are all ready to work and then whenever you need us, we are just a call away. And then we are ready to work and ensure victory for our party come 2023.
“We women are ready. We are all ready to mobilize and very soon we’ll come out with our programmes.
“We are working but we want you to know and to also commend you for the great leadership you’ve given us and also bringing respectability to our great party.”
Adamu expressed gratitude over the decision by members of the campaign council to confer with the party leadership.
He assured that the party would work assiduously to ensure the victory of the Tinubu/Shettima joint ticket in the 2023 poll.
He said: “We have promised to stand shoulder to shoulder with both the presidential candidate and his running mate. So, to that extent, you can rest assured that we will be together in this race.
“Whatever you need us to do we will willingly do it to ensure the success of this effort. Your own journey will be a bit more difficult because of customary mannerisms. Some of the best brains are among you, women.
” Some of the hardest workers are among you, women, but because of who we are, we were not been able to see the best of women yet.
“I believe strongly that people who are leading this campaign and we are looking forward to see what the President and vice president will add value to where President Muhammadu Buhari will be leaving, consolidate on the legacies President Buhari will be working on and by the time he disengages, we will continue.
“President Buhari will not be on the ticket, but his spirit, driving leadership and progressiveness in all he does, will continue to add value to what we are doing to win the elections.
“As far as the leadership of the APC is concerned, President Buhari is very much on the ticket. We will not see his picture, but his spirit will drive this effort. He has done so much under-trying situations.
” And he is polling the fortune of this country to everybody’s surprise.
“I want to just emphasis one thing to you. There is no option to victory. We must leave no space whatsoever. This government must be returned, by the grace of God. I believe in God and for God to appreciate me and add value to what we are doing.
“I want to use the privilege of your coming to emphasis that we just have to work for victory. There is no option whatsoever and don’t be ashamed of saying so. We are not working to end up in the tribunal but working to end up in the Villa.
” Those who have ears should hear. We are ready to work with you and whatever you feel the NWC can do, don’t hesitate to come along. We are ready. May God protect our candidate with more wisdom and reach. The expectation is high but we know what you can do.”
