Wike Seeks Women’s Support For Renewed Hope Initiative

Minister of state for Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mariya Mahmoud, has called on women leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to come up with ideas that would support the Renewed Hope Initiative of the first lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu to succeed.

The minister who made this call when women leaders of the APC paid her a sympathy visit in her office, also tasked them to work together for the interest of all Nigerians.

Mahmoud also stressed on the need to bring women closer, not only when elections are around the corners, but for the purpose of building an inclusive society.

She, however, commended President Bola Tinubu, for his style of leadership, stressing that the government is on the right track towards building an inclusive society.

“For us to achieve the issue of inclusion, we have to work together. And that is even the logo of our great party, the broom tied together. We have to synergize for us to achieve. We have to be working together with synergy. We need to know what is happening in Taraba, we need to know what is happening in Katsina, we need to know what is happening in Imo.

“And more importantly, we need to know how we can assist our mother, the first lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. What are her methods of getting closer to our women so that we apply the same in Kano, we apply the same in Katsina and other states of the federation for us to achieve.

“We have to bring these women closer. Not when elections are around the corner. So we need to be close because we need to advise the First Ladies of our states.

We have to really work harder. We have to brainstorm and come up with practical ideas,” she said.

Mahmoud, while speaking on the recent infrastructural developments in the FCT, assured her guests that before the end of the tenure, residents of the territory would witness several changes in terms of infrastructures, agriculture, people’s welfare, education and health sector.

Earlier, the leader of the delegation and national deputy women leader of the APC, Hajia Zaniab Ibrahim commended the FCT minister of state for her team work, noting that the recent changes in the nation’s capital was as a result of committed team work.
