Atiku
On her part, Mrs. Atiku urged the women to
use their Permanent Voters Cards, PVCs, to
remedy the situation, since it was the
women that were feeling the pangs of
distress in the land, adding, however, that
though “it is true that there is hunger in the
land, it is only the women who can change
the situation in the land today,†and called
on “every woman to vote the umbrella all
the way.â€
