Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the Progressive Young Women Forum (PYWF), on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is set to deploy 5,000 women to monitor the elections in Kano.
In addition, the group announced its readiness to defend its vote and support for the APC presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on February 25, 2023.
Addressing journalists on Sunday during capacity building for APC women at the Sani Abacha indoor sports, the state coordinator Hajiya Balaraba Aliyu Madugu explained that PYWF is ready to ensure smooth electoral process and victory of all APC candidates.
According to him, the 5,000 carefully selected in the nooks and crannies of the country will be trained in election monitoring and supervision as well as rally support for APC candidates.
Hajiya Madugu added that the women volunteers would be deployed to 484 wards in the 44 local government areas of the state.
Hajiya Madugu said it is high time women in the state championed the cause of quality and leadership qualities that Tinubu could emulate especially when he ruled Lagos state.
Madugu pointed out that the PYWF is convinced that the presidential candidacy of Tinubu and Shettima is what Nigeria urgently needs to overcome the current difficulties in the country.
He applauded the support of the grand patron of PYWF and the son of the APC presidential candidate, Seyi Tinubu, pledging massive votes of Kano women during next month’s election.
The Director of the Tinubu/Shettima presidential campaign support group in Kano, Professor Shehu Garba commended the PYWF initiative on election planning and monitoring for 5,000 women.
Professor Garba noted that with the disastrous Tinubu / Shettima blueprint, no political candidate can match the front runners in the APC in the next general election.
