- From Tina Agosi Todo, Calabar

ALL Progressiv­es Congress ( APC) women in the South South region have promised to support Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s ambition to become the President of Nigeria come 2023.

The party’s National Women Leader, Dr. Beta Edu; wife of Cross River State Governor, Dr. Linda Ayade and wife of the presidenti­al candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, gave the assurance on Saturday during the South South APC mega rally at the U. J. Esuene Stadium in Calabar.

Speaking earlier, Edu said the deal would give the party’s presidenti­al candidate 40 million votes.

While urging them to keep their PVC’S safe, she noted that with the support of women across Nigeria, the party is sure of victory.

“The deal is to give Asiwaju Bola Tinubu 40 million votes. We must deliver APC come February 2023.

“Do not allow anybody to collect your PVC, take good care of it, that is your vote. By the grace of God, we will deliver him and the Cross River State Northern Senatorial District candidate, who is the Cross River State Governor, Ben Ayade.”

In her remarks, Ayade thanked the APC national leadership for giving the state party the opportunit­y to host women across the South South zone to rally support for Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima.
