Tinubu/Shettima tickets best option for women - Sen. Remi Tinubu

By Christiana Ekpa

Wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, senator Oluremi Tinubu, at the weekend assured Nigerian women that the Tinubu/Shettima presidential ticket is their best option ahead of the February 25 presidential election.

Addressing women drawn from the various wards and units across the country, Mrs Tinubu said the forthcoming election is an opportunity for women to take control again, so as to build the nation and the families.

“This is the time for women to take control again. Take control of our homes so that we can build our homes and nation.

A Tinubu/Shettima ticket is your best option”, she told the women leaders from the thirty six States of the federation.

She further appreciated the women on behalf of the presidential candidate and his running mate, saying “The strategic meeting of today is very important at this crucial time.”

While she charged the women leaders to go back to their states, wards and units to educate the women folks to vote for Tinubu/ Shetimma, the Lagos Central senator said “This is our time. The popular saying, ‘what a man can do, a woman too can do better.’ This is the decade for women.

“From the town hall meetings we had, I discovered that when we wanted to go for rallies, they (women) would insist they want to have women meetings and it had been successful.

“My husband has not contested an election since 2003. This year, it will be 20 years, so he did not just wake up and say it is my turn. If you can serve other people for 20 years and make sure they excel. I do not believe you cannot excel in your own place.

“The Bible said, when you build, you should inhabit, when you sow, you should be the first person to reap. It depends on how long you have invested.

“They told us, we are buying people to come to rallies. God now said, what I am going to do, I can shut the heavens, so there is no money and you will see my glory.

“Are we not seeing God’s glory? You all should be patient. Be patient and go and vote. When you vote, shine your eyes and monitor until they count your votes”, she told the women.
