The First Lady, Dr. Aisha Buhari has beckoned on those running for political offices to carry women along.
She made this known on Saturday when she hosted Presidential Aspirants from various political parties to a Ramadan (Iftar) breakfast at the State House, Abuja.
She said the aim of the Ramadan breakfast was to foster peace and unity amongst the contestants. She added that letting women be running mates would encourage them to play active roles in politics.
“ In fact, it is high time women are adopted as running mates at all levels considering their voting strength and active involvement in political processes.
“As we approach the 2023 election with greater hope, I am confident that Nigeria will continue to grow from strength to strength on the pedestal of our democratic tenets” she said.
