APC chieftain begs Tinubu to ensure gender equity in appointments
Veronica Adesotu, a chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta, has appealed to President Bola Tinubu to ensure that women were well represented in his administration.
Adesotu, who is the initiator of APC female aspirants 2022/2023 forum made the appeal on Thursday in Abuja.
She said by doing so, Mr Tinubu would offer women the opportunity to effectively contribute their quota to the country’s development.
She said APC female aspirants forum had in its fold women with high intellectual capacity who were ready to unleash their intellect and positive energy for the growth of the nation.
She also said their inclusion in the cabinet and other key positions was critical to move the country forward and to deliver Mr Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
She said that loyal APC female members believed that Mr Tinubu would emerge victorious in the Feb.25 election even when some people in his political fold doubted his abilities.
Mrs Adesotu, a former aspirant of Aniocha North seat in Delta House of Assembly, said female politicians in APC who stood with Mr Tinubu deserved to be compensated with political appointments.
She advised Mr Tinubu to shun sentiments in selecting his ministers and other top members of his administration, saying that only deserving loyal party members should be considered.
Mrs Adesotu said it was time for Mr Tinubu to clear his name of all negative propaganda levelled against him ahead of the elections by putting in place policies and programmes that would improve the well-being of Nigerians.
She expressed optimism that like he did when he was governor of Lagos State, Mr Tinubu would make history and turn around the fortunes of Nigeria.
“In rebuilding this nation in line with his renewed hope agenda, let him rewrite his name in the golden book of history by enthroning good government in the interest of all Nigerians.
“Nigerians must experience a new order of change and the APC must be seen as the harbinger of good government, progress, light and development.
“This is no time to joke with the destiny of the youths of this country; delay is dangerous.
“As a good father, it is time for Tinubu to leave good inheritance of good governance and development for Nigerians,” she said.
