2023 Presidency: Over 600 Women Groups Back Yahaya Bello
The women, who stormed the Department of Arts and Culture Exhibition Pavilion, stressed their support for the Governor.
The women, under the umbrella of Women United for Yahaya Bello (WUYABEL), after their solidarity walk, tagged, “One Million Women March for Yahaya Bello,” maintained that they were ready now to put their weights behind the Governor and prove that the era of what they described as “bread and butter” politics was over in Nigeria.
Stamping their call for a Yahaya Bello Presidency, the women took turns to address the press, while calling on the Federal Government to introduce relief measures to alleviate the pains of the masses, who they said were suffering under harsh economic conditions.
President, National Association of Women Entrepreneurs, Vera Ndanusa, said the mammoth crowd that participated in the march, was an evidence that “whenever you empower a woman, you reap the benefits many times over.”
According to her, women empowerment should be top priority for the Nigeria government as a whole.
