Buharis wife urges women not to sell PVCs

Mrs. Aisha Muhammadu Buhari

The wife of the All Progressives Congress Presidential candidate, Mrs. Aishatu Buhari, on Tuesday urged Nigerian women to resist the temptation of selling their voter cards.

Mrs. Buhari also appealed to the Independent National Electoral Commission not to shift the February 14 date for the presidential election.

She spoke through the Coordinator of the APC Women Presidential Campaign Initiative, Hajia Salamatu Jibril, at the sensitisation workshop in Abuja.

Mrs. Buhari stressed the importance of women participating actively in the general elections. She enjoined all women not to only cast their votes but also ensure that they guard their votes jealously until the results were announced.

She said, In view of this, I urge all to obtain your Permanent Voter Cards and also enjoin others to also get theirs to enable them to vote for the party during election.

More importantly is that you also recognise the logo and know how to thumb print appropriately to prevent void votes. I also want to appeal to you not to sell your vote to any party as it is the only weapon you can use to drive the PDP out of government.

She also enjoined all well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on INEC not to tinker with the February 14 date for the elections.

I also want to acknowledge your highly influential role as mothers, particularly on your households, and therefore urge you to caution your children to shun any form of violence before, during and after the elections, she said.

She also noted that women were the most vulnerable in the society especially during crisis.
