While calling for unity among party faithful, Aliyu further stressed that in this struggle to victory, no one would be left behind.
According to her, “we storm this premises to show our numerical strength and to affirm that we mean business.
“This is a further demonstration that Nigerian women and APC women are solidly behind our father, the flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress.
“We came from far and wide. Precisely, we came from all the 36 states of the federation plus the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)”.
