“The Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Women Council that is what we are called. We are working but we want to also commend you for the great leadership you’ve given us and also bringing respectability to our great party.”
Reacting to the glowing tributes, Adamu thanked the Lagos senator, saying he was satisfied knowing that she and other women leaders were willing to stand by the party’s presidential candidate and running mate for the forthcoming elections.
The APC national chairman further stated that he was a firm believer in the political capacity and nitty-gritty of the APC women campaign council.
“We cannot thank you enough for finding time this early stage to come and meet with us in the APC that we call Buhari House. I want to assure you that what we can do, by way of planning, is to ensure maximum participation in the efforts we will be making as the NWC of the party, to stand with you.
“We have promised to stand shoulder to shoulder with both the presidential candidate and his running mate. So, to that extent, you can be rest assured that we will be together in this race. Whatever you need us to do, we will willingly do it to ensure success of this effort.
“Your own journey will be a bit more difficult because of customary mannerisms. Some of the best brains are among you, women. Some of the hardest workers are among you, women. But because of who we are, we were not able to see the best of women yet.
“As far as the leadership of the APC is concerned, President Buhari is very much on the ticket. We will not see his picture, but his spirit will drive this efforts. He has done so much under trying situations. And he is polling the fortune of this country to everybody’s surprise,” he stated
