Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, has promised Northern Nigerian women that if President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is elected to a second term in 2027, they will benefit more from democracy and economic prosperity.
The Minister expressed hope that better living conditions and prosperity would soon replace the challenges brought on by the Tinubu administration’s economic reforms, even though he acknowledged the economic hardship Nigerians are currently facing.
During a stakeholder engagement with women at the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Hall in Murtala Square, Kaduna, on the fringes of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign flag-off, Sulaiman-Ibrahim offered the assurance.
Women leaders, party supporters, and other stakeholders, including former Minister Dr. Betta Edu, attended the event, which was organized by the Presidential Campaign Council’s Women Mobilization Committee.
Speaking to the assembly, the Minister assured them that the hardships brought on by the reforms were gradually ending and explained that the current economic difficulties facing Nigerians were a result of the reforms the Federal Government is putting in place to reposition the country’s economy.
She urged women, especially those in the country’s north, to support the president’s reelection campaign despite the current economic challenges, stating that the administration had set the groundwork for sustainable development and economic recovery.
Additionally, Sulaiman-Ibrahim denied accusations that President Tinubu was pursuing policies and initiatives that were detrimental to Northern Nigeria, characterizing them as untrue and deceptive.
She claims that the President has demonstrated his dedication to the development of the North through a number of infrastructure initiatives, interventions in healthcare and education, and attempts to address the security issues facing the area.
She promised that Northern Nigeria would receive more attention under a second term of Tinubu’s presidency, citing the administration’s commitment to the region through road construction and rehabilitation, the establishment of universities, Federal Medical Centers, and other development initiatives.
The Minister went on to say that the opposition presidential candidates had not offered superior substitutes for the Tinubu administration’s economic policies and development initiatives.
I believe APC members will continue to blow the trumpet of Tinubu and promote his achievements. Regardless of political affiliation, what matters most is that we all work toward a peaceful election.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One
