Women of Edo State have been called upon to register as members of the newly inaugurated All Progressives Congress (APC).
The call was made by the interim state women leader of the APC, Mrs. Modino Emovon, during a forum in Benin City.
Emovon said women in the state decided to embrace APC because they need change and better life for their children. According to her, with the flag-off of APC in the Edo State, women are prepared to move APC to the next level in the state.
She added that there is already strong solidarity for the APC among the women.
“Many years ago, our late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, predicted that a day would come when all the good people would form themselves into a political party that would rule this country; in my mind, that day has come in the form of the APC,” she said.
On her part, Edo Central Senatorial District Women Leader of APC and former Chairman, Board of Directors, Edo State Institute of Continuing Education, Mrs. Tina Agbarah, said that the meeting was to formerly inform the people of the state that the women that were members of the former ACN, CPC and ANPP are now working together. She noted that with the coming together, the challenge the party has does not exist anymore, saying that they are well united.
She advised women to go out and register their membership of the APC in the registration exercise that would soon commence.
