In Calabar, Cross River State, the All Progressives Congress, APC women Presidential Campaign Council launched its campaign over the weekend with a commitment to ensure gender mainstreaming in Asiwaju Bola Tinubu‘s administration.

The First Lady was represented by Zahra Buhari Indimi, the First Lady’s daughter, according to Rinsola Abiola, head of media for the APC Women Presidential Campaign team.
The wife of the APC presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who also serves as the head of the women’s team, praised the virtues of South South women.

The Tinubu/Shettima ticket is the most experienced and the most progressive combination available on the ballot”, he said.
