ABEOKUTA– The wife of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Yeye Adenike Adebutu has called on governments at all levels to prioritize the issues around the girl child, saying that a secured future for the gender is not negotiable.
She stated this on Thursday, at the official inauguration of “Lados Ladies Of Integrity’ held at PDP’s secretariat, in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
Adebutu reteirated that the move will make them to stand on their feet, realizing they can achieve anything they want in life as long as they put their mind to it.
Adebutu, who noted that women form the major group of participants in political campaigns,, therefore advocated for more involvement and engagement of women in politics and policies making.
“Women are the major group that participates in elections and we discover that women normally because of the percentage given to women, are not given enough.
“We are in all polling Units to make sure that women come out to vote because we can achieve our aims through voting
“We have to do this so that Government can know that women can do a lot, by creating primary health care, good roads and jobs for women.
“As a woman, I hope to better the lot of women, we want to see women come out as Governor very soon, commissioners and ministers”, she added
Also speaking, the president of ‘Lado’s Ladies of Integrity, Wuraola Arojo, said the group is made up of at least 5 members across the polling units in the state
She said the group is geared toward making the aspirations of Hon. Ladi Adebutu, the gubernatorial candidate of the party on the state a reality.
“We have five members in each polling booths and 236 wards in the state. 3 people from each ward came to represent the wards today”, she noted
Speaking on the different litigations against the Governorship ambition of Ladi Adebutu, she said the group is optimistic that the former member, House of Representatives, will overcome them all.
“When we talk of a life, that has a productive end, there will be a lot of distraction on the road.”
She therefore urges all well wishers to stay focus, believing that Adebutu will win the primaries even when conducted over again.
“We have a focus and they just want to distract our attention. Ladi Adebutu will win the primaries when done again and we know that God is on our side”, she said
