Women leaders across the six geo-political zones in the country have asked a former governor of Imo State, Sen. Rochas Okorocha, to seek the presidential ticket of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2023.

The women, under the aegis of Woddi Women Voices led by Okorocha’s wife, Dr. Nneoma Okorocha, made the demand when they paid him a visit yesterday, at his private office in Abuja.

Speaking at the event, Okorocha’s wife, Dr. Nneoma, said, “These women you are seeing here are not here because of political party or religion or ethnicity; they are here because they want a good Nigeria. We cannot afford to fold our hands anymore.”

Women leaders who spoke at the event were; Betty Oluntede (South-West), Hadiza Ibrahim (North-Central), Joyce Osaro (South-South), Zainab Musa (North-West), Honor Onyebuchukwu (South-East) and Fatima Saleh (North-East).

In his response, Senator Okorocha, who is presently representing Imo West Senatorial District in the National Assembly, said, “l don’t fear my political opponents, l fear women. Outside God, the next people l fear are women.”

“When a woman stands alone, she gives birth to a baby. When women gather, they give birth to a nation. What you are doing today is that you are giving birth to a nation.”
