Rt. Hon. Mrs. Dorothy Mato, the member of the House of Representatives for Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency of Benue State, yesterday attended the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign rally in Lafia, Nasarawa State, organized by women and youth groups in the North-Central Zone. 

Speaking at the event, the wife of the Vice President, Mrs Dolapo Osinbajo appreciated all those who contributed to making the rally possible.  She appealed to them to continue to support President Muhammadu Buhari and APC so that the party will win its elections into various positions and serve Nigeria better. 

She makes it clear that President Buhari cares about every Nigerian and will continue to do his best for Nigeria to become a great nation. 

In her speech, the wife of the Nasarawa State governor, Mrs. Salamatu Al-Makura, says that President Buhari's fight against corruption is aimed at encouraging Nigerians to work hard and be honest in all endeavours.

She said Buhari is concerned about youths and women empowerment and wants them to work very hard and attain greatness instead of indulging in corrupt activities. 

"We have seen the efforts of Mr President; we want him to continue with his good work so that he will restore Nigeria's lost glory", she said. 

Rep Mato in her meeting with the wife of the Vice President, Mrs Osinbajo and some women and youths, assured them that APC will continue to move forward against all odds for the desired impact to be made. She appealed to women and youths to always embrace peace even in the face of violence.

"Violence should not be allowed to be our way of life. No matter the situation that we might face as a party or individual in our political drive, we should never allow violence to destroy us. Peace is what we believe in and by the principles of progress and unity, we will continue to be peace-loving party members and together, we shall be victorious at the polls so that Nigeria will be repositioned for the common good", she said.
