According to her, the Buhari administration has done a lot about youths and women empowerment.

She said Buhari’s support for various market groups with financial aids and social investment facilities, Trademoni, and N-power as well as the administration’s other achievements in infrastructure, security and anti-corruption makes his re-election deserving.

On her part, the wife of the APC gubernatorial candidate in Sokoto State, Hajia Fatima Aliyu Ahmad, expressed optimism that with the turnout of APC supporters, the party will emerge victorious in the forthcoming elections.
