Obi, Tinubu Or Atiku? – Federal Lawmakers’ Wives Endorse Presidential Candidate

Obi, Tinubu Or Atiku? – Federal Lawmakers’ Wives Endorse Presidential Candidate

Wives of federal lawmakers, acting through the House of Representatives Members’ Spouses Association (HORMSA), yesterday endorsed the ruling All Progressives Congress’ presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, ahead of the election.

This was accomplished when the group, led by its president and wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mrs. Salamatu Gbajabiamila, paid a courtesy call on Senator Oluremi Tinubu, chairman of the Tinubu/Shettima Women Campaign Team.

In her speech, Gbajabiamila stated that Tinubu’s track record of supporting and prioritizing women makes his campaign promises about equitable representation credible.

“In 1999, when Asiwaju became Lagos State governor, it was not the norm to carry women along so strongly, but Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu did not think that only men were capable of fixing Lagos. He recognised and demonstrated that women are not insignificant.

“With your and Asiwaju’s record, we have no doubt that women will be given more space to thrive if he is elected to office. Asiwaju believes in our capacity. He recognises our strength and value. He knows democracy is incomplete if women are excluded. This is why we can rely on his promise to increase women’s participation to at least 35% of all government positions. If Asiwaju says he is promising that women will be adequately represented in government appointments, we believe him.”

She went on to say that a country like Nigeria needs a visionary leader like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“No nation is perfect and we can all agree that there are many challenges in Nigeria; this is why we need a visionary with a proven track record to elevate our nation. We have seen Asiwaju turn around a dwindling economy and a highly insecure Lagos into a thriving economy and a much more improved security scenario; a prosperous state that we can all appreciate. We have every reason to believe that if given the opportunity, Asiwaju and his able Vice-President, Distinguished Senator Kashim Shettima, can also contribute to improving Nigeria. Today, we have come to show our appreciation and pledge our support to the Tinubu/Shettima mission to bring renewed hope to Nigeria,” she said.

Tinubu praised the legislators’ wives for their show of support. She also praised the Buhari administration’s efforts to improve the welfare of those serving in the Armed Forces, and expressed hope that if elected, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, will build on the positive developments recorded during the Buhari administration.

She also encouraged the women to get involved in the campaign at the grassroots level.

“If the Tinubu/Shettima ticket is given this glorious opportunity, I think we will be able to see more of the foundation laid by the Buhari administration. There will be a lot of work, we need you all to continue to work and to help us with the door-to-door campaign”, she said.

Senator Tinubu also urged legislators’ wives to support their husbands’ political careers through various community and social development programs, and to use the Yuletide season to spread love and cheer by helping the needy.
