Yola, June 13 2024 (NAN) Dr Suzan Mark, Adamawa Women leader of the Peoples Democracy Party (PDP), has said that women were ready to contest for Vice Chairmanship positions in the forthcoming Local Government elections in the state.
Mark, who stated this at a news conference in Yola on Thursday, noted that the women were ready to contest the positions of Vice Chairmenship in all the 21 local government areas of Adamawa.
“We are appealing to all stakeholders of our great party, the PDP, to allow women in the various local governments councils to contest the vice Chairmanship positions.
“This is because they have proven to be party loyalists and possessed the capacity and tenacity to be into such positions,” she said.
She further called on other political parties, to follow suit and reserve the deputy chairmanship positions to women, so as to have an overwhelming impact across board.
Mark commended Gov. Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa, for being gender sensitive by choosing Prof. Kaletapwa Farauta, a female to be his Deputy.
The Women Leader noted that all the policies and programmes of the Fintiri administration, especially in healthcare, education and security were geared towards impacting women and youths.
Mark appealed to the electorate to vote for women in the forthcoming LG polls in the state. (NAN) (www.nannews.ng)
