The First Lady of Nigeria, Aisha Buhari has called on leaders in the North to learn from the exemplary practice of their South West counterparts in enthroning women as deputy governors.
In a statement she shared on her Instagram on Tuesday, after the the crisis rocking Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) she appealed to northern governor to learn the practice.
“I would again like to repeat my appeal to respected leaders in the North to learn from the exemplary practice of their Southwest counterparts in enthroning women as Deputy Governors in states as a gradual approach to obtaining gender inclusion in our polity,” she wrote.
She further stated:
“This is a most realistic step in our efforts at attaining gender justice instead of supporting the pursuit of the misplaced ambition of an individual do-or-die politician.”
Recall that crisis erupted in the state after the party’s governorship primary won by Senator Aishatu Binani which one of the aspirants, Malam Nuhu Ribadu rejected and went to court.
The Federal High Court last month voided the primary and declared the party had no governorship candidate in the State, prompting the APC as well as Binani to approach the Court of Appeal for its judgement.
The case has since divided the party between members supporting Binani and those supporting Ribadu.
But an Appeal Court sitting in Yola, Adamawa State capital, on Thursday, November 24th, declared Binani as the APC governorship candidate in AdamawaThis was disclosed in a statement shared on her Instagram post she shared on Tuesday, after the the crisis rocking Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
