Why do you have to mobilise these women?
Basically, it is to make them politically inclined, particularly those who are not politically inclined and make them to realise their potentials as women as well as leaders. You have to be in the political circle for you to be able to influence decisions affecting you within the system you are operating. Therefore, my responsibility is to bring women into politics especially PDP, my own party.
