Shekarau’s wife woos disabled – Ribadu’s wife seeks women’s support

The wives of the presidential candidates of All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Hajiya Halima Shekarau and Hajiya Zara Ribadu respectively, are wooing the support of some special class of voters in Kano State.

In a parley she had with the less-privileged at the Ante-Chamber of Kano Government House yesterday, Governor Shekarau’s wife urged the less privileged to support her husband because of his leadership qualities and commitment to the less privileged.

She said Shekarau’s government in Kano State had been responsive to their plight, and if elected president in the next general election, his government would be more committed to their welfare.

But the ACN flag bearer’s wife, Hajiya Zara Ribadu and his running mate’s wife, Hajiya Hajara Adeola, said they were in Kano in order to woo the support of the women, noting that ACN has the best programmes for women.

Speaking to newsmen in Kano, Hajiya Hajara Adeola said, women are central to ACN’s programmes, noting that even before winning the election, ACN as a party had proved that it would be responsive to the plights of women.

“Even before the election, ACN has shown that it has high regard for the women. You can see in ACN a number of women deputy governors, many Senators, Reps, among others contesting on its platform,” she said.

In her address to the women at Kano Indoor Sports Hall, Hajiya Zara Ribadu, urged the Kano women to vote Ribadu and Adeola because of their competence and dedication to the service of the country.

She said Ribadu and Adeola are tested and trusted Nigerians who would not disappoint people when elected president and vice president.
