By, Amina Umar
Electing good leaders has been described as a key to peace and improved living standards.
The Wife of the Bauchi State Governor, Dr Aisha Bala Mohammed, stated this when she flagged off the distribution of support to 340 women organized by the Commissioners’ Wives Association, held at the New Banquet Hall of the Government House.
She urged women to support the APM in the state to sustain people-oriented projects, including road construction and improvements in healthcare and education, implemented by Governor Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed.
The Governor’s Wife commended the Commissioners’ Wives for the support, which she said will help the women to start small businesses and assist themselves and their families.
In her speech during the event, the Wife of the APM Gubernatorial Candidate in the state, Yakubu Adamu, expressed her happiness over the support organized by the Commissioners’ Wives, and appealed to the women to support her husband in the 2027 general election.
In their goodwill messages, the APM State Women Leader, Hajiya Hauwa Musa Fulani and APM Zonal Women Leader, Hajiya Hadiza Maman P.A, called on women to sensitize their families to support the APM party to continue to enjoy similar support that will improve their lives.
They also commended the Commissioners’ Wives for emulating the Governor’s Wife, Dr Aisha Bala Mohammed, in supporting women of the state.
In her speech, the Chairperson of the Commissioners’ Wives Association, Hajiya Saratu Abdulkadir Modibo, said the association was formed to support women and complement the efforts of the Governor’s wife in promoting women’s self-reliance.
She said the association’s support would empower women in buying and selling, urging them to use the assistance judiciously.
During the programme, each of the 340 women received twenty thousand naira.
