The Peoples Democratic Party has appointed Amina Arong as its National Women Leader.

The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, said this in a statement in Abuja on Thursday.

He expressed confidence that she would bring on board her intellectual capacity as well as experience as the women leader.

Mr Ologungba said that Ms Arong, a holder of a Diploma in Banking and Finance and B.Sc. in Accounting, would serve out the term of the late National Women Leader, Prof. Stella Effah-Attoe, who died on October 29.

“The PDP congratulates and tasks the new national women leader to deploy her capacity and experience in working with other members of the National Working Committee for the continuing stability, growth and success of our great party,” he said.
