The wife of Atiku Abubakar, the presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Dr. (Mrs.) Jennifer Douglas-Abubakar has reassured Nigerian women of the party’s readiness to accord them their pride of place if PDP emerges victorious in the February 16 Presidential poll.
Mrs Abubakar who gave the assurance at the Ibom Hall grounds Uyo, Akwa Ibom state capital during a PDP Presidential Women Rally stated that gender equality would be paramount in their government.
According to her, “We will fight for the women of Nigeria. We are not just in the other room, we are in the parlour and we will be in every necessary place.
“Your incoming president, Atiku Abubakar is passionate about gender equality and he respects women. He will ensure that women are carried along in the scheme of things.”
On the APC led federal government home grown feeding programme, Dr. Abubakar argued that women would have been better off if they were empowered to enable them feed all their children with appropriate food than giving few of their children food in school.
She therefore pledged to empower the women and restore their dignity when she becomes the Nigerian’s First Lady adding that through her programme, Nigerian women will have enough resources at their disposal to take care of their children.
Calling on all Akwa Ibom women and men in general to get their PVCs ready and vote for the umbrella party, Dr. Abubakar said, “In 2020, our children will go to school and we will feed all our children and not just a few. We need to vote out the broom party, what they are feeding our children is appalling.”
