A former national women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon Stella Okotete, has said Nigerian women across the country are poised to elect Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of the country in 2023.
Okotete, who addressed journalists at the Asiwaju Women Cooperative Society event held at the National Women Centre (NWC), Abuja, said Tinubu is the best deal for Nigerian women and that is why they are working assiduously to ensure his victory and those of other APC candidates nationwide.
Okotete, who is also the executive director of business development at the Nigerian Export Import Bank (NEXIM), said Nigeria would experience economic growth and development under Tinubu’s government in 2023.
Also, the Coordinator of the group, Chief Toyin Badmus who said the group has been in existence for over two years, submitted that the group is fully out to support the candidacy of Tinubu.
Badmus said, with Tinubu as president of Nigeria, small scale business men and women would have access to funds.
She said, “Our aim is for Asiwaju to become president in 2023.
“What we are advocating for is the return of people’s banks, it was a bank where small traders used to have access to funds, but now it’s different, we know that when Tinubu enters, he is going to look into this.
“Things are going to change with his government, we are in 23 states including the Federal Capital Territory, we are not a WhatsApp group, we have our exco from the senatorial to the local government.
In her remarks, the chairperson, BoT, AWCS, Barrister Omolara Alakija, said the group would work hard for the success of the APC in 2023.
“We are ready to work for Asiwaju, we are here to show to our leaders we are united and the women will all work in their respective local governments,” she added.
