Quote:The Presidential Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, today, bagged the endorsement of South East, South South and Arewa women groups in Lagos. The cosmopolitan city has since come to be a home for all, with every ethnic group being represented. The women group who welcomed the wife of the aspirant, Mrs. Jennifer Douglas Abubakar and Margaret Peter Obi, rallied all available support for the women. 

The parley was hosted by Hon. Rita Orji, member representing Ajeromi/Ifelodun constituency in the house of Reps. This gathering is one of a kind, and a way that PDP get onward feedbacks from the grassroots on what they need in governance. The women who were clearly joyous, danced and hailed the candidacy of the PDP, as music and claps rent the air. 

Mrs. Abubakar in her speech reminded the women of Alhaji Atiku’s plan to devote 30% of roles in his government to women. It is clear that this plan stems from Atiku’s background, having been brought up by his mother single-handedly. In the past, it was this kind of quota system that gave Honorable Member, Mrs. Rita Orji, the chance to become a member of the House of Representative.
