First Lady Aisha Buhari has asked the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure that women occupy strategic positions in the party.

Aisha said this on Tuesday at the maiden edition of the APC national women conference which held in Abuja.

“This is the first time the national women conference of the APC is being held to establish our commitment to setting the position of women in matters of national importance, especially in increasing the visibility of women, positioning women for future political offices, and encouraging them to aspire more towards the progress of our great party,” Aisha Said.

She said the future of Nigeria depends on the potentials of women, adding that the APC must move beyond “paying lip service” to women involvement in governance.
