The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, says his administration will increase empowerment for women if elected as president in the 2023 general election.
Atiku said this during the unveiling of the strategic communications brand of his presidential campaign in Abuja on Friday.
The PDP presidential flag-bearer, while responding to questions from the audience at the event, said: “If we are serious about increased prosperity, then we must increase empowerment of women.”
The former Vice President stated that the theme of the event, ‘Recovery Nigeria message’ must be taken to the women and youths, saying: “If we are to recover Nigeria from its current mess that the APC has put us through, then we must begin that recovery from the demography that is most hit by the failure of the APC, which are the women and youth.
“The records are there to compare the performance of the PDP and the APC and the upcoming election should be a referendum on the performance of the APC.

“Nigerians have had a taste of the two parties, and I am not saying this for myself, but we should be proud of the records that the PDP offered,” Atiku said.
Also speaking at the event, the Director of Strategic Communications for the PDP Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu, said that the ‘Recovery Nigeria message’ is a reflection of the current pains that the country is passing through.
“Nigeria, currently is going through hard times. We have taken time to evaluate the challenges facing the country and the plan to rescue and restore Nigeria by the PDP.
“That evaluation gave birth to our Recovery Nigeria messaging, because it includes not just the diagnostics of where we are, but the prescriptions of the antidotes to the challenges,” Momodu said.
The event was attended by the PDP vice-presidential candidate and Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa; the party’s campaign officials, and members from the private sector of the Abuja business community.
