MEMBERS of the Defunct Presidential Campaign Council of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023 have called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to elevate the spirit of women supporters of the party by making a political appointment of their members who were represented in the defunct PCC of the Tinubu/Shettima 2023.
The women who noted that they have been sidelined in the political scene particularly as it concerns appointment said their loyalty to the party should not be taken for granted.
According to the women, they have watched from the sidelines how women who were not in the forefront of the campaigns have suddenly been appointed and rewarded in many ways, leaving them in the cold.
“Throughout the campaign period, we stood firmly behind Her Excellency, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, crisscrossing the country, mobilizing support, canvassing votes, and advocating for the party’s agenda at the grassroots level.
“However, two years into this administration, these women feel neglected, ignored, and sidelined.
“Despite their unwavering support and immeasurable contributions, not a single individual from the Women’s Wing of the PCC has been recognized or rewarded with appointments or any form of compensation.
“This sense of abandonment is deeply disheartening, demoralizing, and unacceptable.
“Our members are left to watch from the sidelines, while others who played no significant roles are being recognized and elevated.
This “use-and-dump” approach is not only unjust but also risks eroding the morale of women who form a significant majority of the electorate and who were pivotal to the party’s 2023 electoral victory.
