The gathering brought together prominent female leaders from across the North to strategize on grassroots mobilization, political education, and enhanced women’s participation in governance.

In her address, Mrs. Naomi Lasara Abel, the ADC National Women Leader, described the party as “the only credible alternative to the ruling party.”

According to her, the ADC has consistently demonstrated its commitment to inclusiveness by providing leadership opportunities for women and youth.

This movement is not just about elections—it’s about restoring integrity, competence, and compassion to leadership through the collective strength of Nigerian women.”

Also present at the event were Alhaji Adamu Maina Waziri and Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye, who commended the women’s mobilization efforts.
