While congratulating them on their emergence, Senator Oluremi Tinubu pointed out that the task ahead of them both is enormous, as women play a vital role in politics.

“Women are indispensable; therefore, your work is enormous. APC women are versatile and committed and this is evident with the emergence of your predecessor as the Minister for Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Eradication.”

“We have elections coming up in some States soon, Imo, Kogi others. Let us work to ensure victory”.

In her remarks, the APC National Woman Leader, Dr Mary Alile Idele noted that the number of women representation in the government has not been equaled since the 1960’s.

She said appealed for more representation saying the women have a lot to give especially in assuring the people of a better Nation.

“We will let the women especially at the grassroots know that Renewed Hope came, it benefitted them”.
