The first lady, Aisha Buhari, has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to guarantee that women hold key positions within the party.<\/p>\n

Aisha made the remarks on Tuesday at the inaugural APC national women\u2019s conference in Abuja.<\/p>\n

She stated that the future of Nigeria is dependent on women\u2019s potentials, and that the APC must go beyond \u201cpaying lip service\u201d to women\u2019s participation in governance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the first time the national women conference of the APC is being held to establish our commitment to setting the position of women in matters of national importance, especially in increasing the visibility of women, positioning women for future political offices, and encouraging them to aspire more towards the progress of our great party,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2015, I\u2019ve had the privilege of engaging Nigerian women across the entire country. My conviction is that Nigeria\u2019s future is entirely dependent on actually using the potentials of our women.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is no mere coincidence that parties that have grown strong, prosperous and influential have prioritised women\u2019s participation in national building.<\/p>\n

\u201cI therefore wish to call upon the APC to double its efforts in promoting women, which I believe will serve as one of the objectives of this conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs Nigeria races towards another election, we must go beyond paying lip service to putting women in vital offices within our party and the government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must put in place workable strategies to ensure that this actually happens; charity begins at home. And so the APC must start by ensuring that women occupying strategic offices within the party have the most strategic roles in government.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen this happens, it will become a lot easier for us to empower the Nigerian women for the much needed leadership politically and economically.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
