2023: No alternative to APC victory, says Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari has challenged members of the All Progressives Congress Women Presidential Campaign Team to work hard in ensuring victory for the party in the 2023 general elections.
The president, who made the call at the inauguration of the APC Women team in Abuja on Monday, said the call had become imperative because there was no alternative to APC electoral victory in the 2023 presidential election.
Mr Buhari, who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Ibrahim Gambari, urged team members to take the party to greater heights by developing and implementing an inclusive party strategy for smooth victory in the elections.
He described the inauguration of the APC women’s presidential campaign committee as the most crucial component of the 2023 campaign.
“I strongly believe that this committee will take the APC to greater heights by developing and implementing a collective and inclusive party strategy to ensure a PCS victory in the 2023 election because there is no alternative to our victory,” he said.
The president, who congratulated all members of the committee and the leadership of the party for the laudable initiative, wished the team a successful campaign season.
He, however, warned that the team must always be guided by the fact that their mission would involve going around the whole wards in the 774 local government areas of the federation campaigning for the party.
“The campaign should therefore resist the temptation for it to be turned into an Abuja activity,” he added.
The president also lauded the Nigerian women for being “most loyal and supportive” of his administration.
Mr Buhari, therefore, charged the women to extend the same support he had been enjoying from them to the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, and the vice presidential candidate, kashim Shettima, as well as other APC candidates during and after the 2023 general elections.
The president also directed the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, in conjunction with the Minister of Women’s Affairs, to work closely with the office of the first lady and the National Assembly to ensure the passage of bills aimed at creating a level playing field for Nigerian women.
