Women Affairs Minister Dame Pauline Tallen has enjoined women to utilize the opportunity of the ongoing registration and realisation of membership by the ruling All Progressives Congress APC to register and participate in politics
Recently,the President and Leader o the party President Muhammadu Buhari, had flagged-off the registration of members in preparation for the party’s National Convention.
According to the Minister, party registration is key for political participation. It is only when we register that we could aspire for elective positions, be they general or for election into party positions.
Politics is a game of numbers. Statistics have it that about 51% of our population is made up of both female and youth.
This goes to say that we, women and youth, have the voting power to decide who should be our leader.
It is in the light of this that I make this clarion call on all women and youth, from the ages of 18 years and above, to make haste and register as members of the largest party in black Africa, the APC.
Globally, we have seen instances where power shifted to women and youth.
Women and Youth in Nigeria also clamour for similar power shift. This will not be possible if we do not use this opportunity to register as party members.
“Women and Youth, please ensure that you actively participate. Register and ensure that more women and youth in your Constituency register also. Don’t miss this golden opportunity!
“Hurry and register now!
Remember, your Party registration card opens all doors to political patronage” she said
