APC Women Plead For Gbajabiamila’s Seat Women

 Supporting Women for Greater Heights has requested that Femi Gbajabiamila's former position be replaced in the House of Representatives by a woman. Gbajabiamila served as a representative for the Surulere Federal Constituency, before becoming President Bola Tinubu's chief of staff Its request follows a rumoured announcement that purportedly named the party's chosen candidate to succeed Gbajabiamila. In a statement, the president, Abeke Daramola, said: "Having believed in the policy of APC that craves women inclusion in politics, we are seeking the nomination of Jamila Mu’azu-Olukosi to replace Gbajabiamila. “Mrs. Jamila Mu’azu-Olukosi has contested four times, bought nomination forms, mobilised massively, but was told to step down. And this she did because of her belief in the party's supremacy. “Aside from being a dedicated APC member in Lagos, Mrs. Mu’azu-Olukosi has empowered many people in her constituency. ‘’Therefore, now that there is an opening, we appeal for her to be considered because of her interest and support for the party. “Despite always being sidelined and never compensated, she has never had a face-off with anyone. Instead, she continues to work for the party at the ward, local government, state and national levels. Why are women always relegated to the background in times like this?” “We call on President Tinubu to intervene. We also appeal to lovers of positive political ideologies to fight this noble battle.”
