Network of Women Advocacy (NWA), a Non- government Organization which
\ngalvanizes public support for positive government policies and programmes
\nespecially empowerment of women recalls President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s pre –
\n2015 presidential election promise that his government will have zero
\ntolerance for discrimination against women.
\nIn fulfillment of his promise, PMB has started the empowerment of women
\nthrough the appointment of qualified women into sensitive government
\npositions.
\nRecently, PMB appointed Hajia Amina Zakari as the Acting Chairman of INEC
\nand Network of Women Advocacy commends the appointment through the
\nfollowing statements:
\nNetwork of Women Advocacy commends President Muhammadu Buhari for
\nappointing Hajia Amina Zakari as INEC Acting Chairman which shows that his
\nadministration is gender friendly and sensitive and further demonstrates
\nhis fulfillment of his electoral promises of empowering Nigerian women.
\nThe appointment of Hajia Amina Zakari as INEC Acting Chairman is
\nmeritorious and well-deserved because of her rich experience in electoral
\nmatters, sound academic background, profound public administrative skills,
\npersonal honour, integrity and strong character etc.
\nNWA is confident of the capacities and capabilities of the new appointment
\nin repositioning INEC to more enviable heights and conducting free, fair,
\ncredible and transparent elections beyond the expectations and
\nimaginations of Nigerians and the international community.
\nNWA notes with disgust, consternation and disappointment\u00a0 the frivolous
\nand baseless criticisms against this noble and suiting appointment from
\nthe quarters and enclaves of misogamists, conservative and enemies of this
\nadministration who hate women mobility, emancipation and empowerment.
\nWe therefore urge all Nigerians and the members of International Community
\nto ignore the rantings of few unprogressive elements against her
\nappointment; rally round her to move our electoral system forward and at
\nthe same time urge her to remain focused, steadfast, committed, diligent
\nin her new assignment without being distracted by fifth columnists and
\nagent provocateurs, busy body movement who are opposed to our collective
\nprogress as a Nation.
