She urged political parties to always consider women as running mates to candidates contesting elections into various positions across the country.
She organised the Iftar dinner to provide opportunity for the aspirants to share love and happiness with one another in the spirit of Ramadan and in a quest for nation building.
She said, fair-play for women in politics was to ensure their greater participation in elective positions.
“In fact, it is high time women are adopted as running mates at all levels considering their voting strength and active involvement in political processes.
“As we approach the 2023 election with greater hope, I am confident that Nigeria will continue to grow from strength to strength on the pedestal of our democratic tenets,” she said.
