“The President has done a lot to tackle the developmental needs of the nation, in spite of the challenges and opposition against his administration,”

“Let us take advantage of our numerical strength to vote for the re-election of the President, because more Nigerian women had been appointed to political offices by Jonathan’s administration than past administrations.
