The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2023 general elections, Atiku Abubakar has assured women and youths of 60 per cent inclusiveness in his government if elected as president.
Atiku stated this at the unveiling of the security, health, and education campaign office, women and youths support group in Abuja. He said the decision is already included in his policy documents for the 2023 general elections.
Atiku noted that women and youths constitute an important segment of society as far as human development is concerned, as he added that in every election there is a change in strategy.
“This election is not about rallying or opening a beautiful office, it is about delivering your unit. If you want us to look after your group, deliver your unit if you come to me I will say bring your results,” he said.
If you cannot deliver your unit, don’t come to us saying I have been following you. What we want is for you to bring results, which are the instructions you will receive henceforth. It is not also by opening big and attractive offices, the keyword is delivering your unit. The struggle for the next democratic process is in your respectful voting unit.
