Balarabe said Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s administration had appointed more women into political posts and empowered them like no other administration in the state.

She urged the women to vote for APC candidates at all levels in the forthcoming general election to continue to enjoy more dividends of democracy.

The deputy governor advised women in the state to bury their hatches, unite, and vote for the APC for the interest and welfare of their families as well as progress of the state.

Balarabe further promised to produce copies of the APC manifesto, list of all the projects, and programmes executed by the present administration.

This, she said, would help women to mobilise support for the party.
