Before now we have women saying we cannot afford nomination forms, we have been given the greatest chance to emerge the winner of an election because we will be running on a ticket of the ruling party, a party that has performed, a party that has provided welfare for Nigerians, a party that is ready to mainstream women.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen should stand up and contest.
