The Speaker, who was represented at the occasion by his Chief of Staff, Hon Isah Umar Lawal, noted that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), remains the best bet for the people of Kogi State and urged the women to sustain their belief in the party’s candidate in the next gubernatorial election.
He reminded them of how the APC policy in the state has given them national recognition, making them a reference point in Nigeria’s politics as they occupy sensitive political positions under the government of Alhaji Yahaya Bello.
The Speaker noted that the group’s sponsor, Engr Bashiru Gegu, is a man faithful to the ideals of the current administration, which has given APC women the opportunity to make impact in the society, by the virtue of the political offices they oversee.
Rt Hon Yusuf who further stressed the need for them to utilize the items distributed to add value to their lives, promised not to leave them behind in his own empowerment programmes.
The benefitting widows expressed gratitude to the donor for his show of love to them and promised to remain steadfast to the cause of the APC in the state.
