AHEAD of today's national convention, the incumbent National Women leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Alhaja Ramatu Tijjani has debunked claims in some sections of the media that she has stepped down from the contest to recontest for the post.
Ramatu in a press statement released and personally signed by her said her purported resignation was by her opponent and sponsors in attempt to deceive our delegates. She said she is widely accpted by the delegates and has no reason to withdraw for anyone, no matter highly placed.
Below Is The Press Statement
I have received with shock and displeasure the just published fabrication in a mushroom blog named Authority News Paper that I Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu the incumbent National women leader of the APC and a widely endorsed candidate for the National Women leadership of our great party in Today’s Convention has withdrawn from the race.
This development is not just unfortunate but a crude demonstration of the garage politics and dirty propaganda being deployed by my Opponent and her sponsors in attempt to deceive our delegates. To think that someone seeking to become a National Women leader of our great party the APC can descend so low is not only bad for the APC but also dangerous for our nascent democracy.
I hereby clearly and unequivocally reassert that I Dr. Ramatu Tijjani Aliyu is still firmly in the running to retain my office as the National Women leader of the APC and to build on the good work we have started together. I therefore urge our delegates and party faithfuls to disregard and ignore any such news and plots to deceive you into voting for the wrong candidate.
God bless you all!
God bless The APC!!
God bless Nigeria!!!
