The wife of the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mrs Aisha Buhari, has urged
women to vote for the party’s candidates in all the upcoming elections.
Buhari made the call in Owerri on
Friday at the South East zonal APC women’s convention.

While thanking the women for their
support to the party, she urged them to collect their permanent voters’ cards
to enable them to vote.
“Positive change is on the way, but
you can only enjoy this change if you collect your permanent voters’ cards and
vote for APC candidates in all the upcoming elections.
“Do not be swayed by cheap
incentives from politicians who will only perpetuate corruption; your vote is
your might, use it wisely,” she said.
She also commended Mrs Nkechi
Okorocha, the wife of the Imo governor, for her efforts to improve the lives of
women in the state, describing her as “a woman of substance, integrity and credibility”.
The wife of the vice-presidential
candidate of the party, Mrs Oluyemi Osibanjo, noted that the people of the
South East had made sacrifices in the past with no commensurate benefit, adding
that APC would change the trend.
Also speaking, the National Women
Leader of the party, Hajiya Ramatu Tijani, urged the women to show support to
the party in all the elections.
On his part, Gov. Rochas Okorocha of
Imo said that the presidential candidate of the party, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari,
would bring positive change to the country if voted into office.
He debunked claims that Buhari would
turn the country into a Muslim nation, saying that the claims did not hold
water.
“Our vice presidential candidate is
a senior pastor of a church, so saying that the country would be forced to
become an Islamic one is a baseless claim,” Okorocha said.
In her address, Okorocha’s wife,
Nkechi, expressed confidence that the party’s candidates would emerge
victorious in the upcoming elections.
