Center for Innovative and Pragmatic Development Initiative (CIPDI) has called on Guber candidates who emerged as flag bearers of their respective parties to pick women as their running mate.
According to President of CIPDI, Ifeanyi Nwanoro, Nigerians must learn to groom and mentor the next generation of Leaders to move the country forward.
He said the elites need to create opportunities for women, and youths to rise and shine; and women and youths need to engage actively in governance and electoral processes.
He also called on all the serving Governors and the chieftains of all the political parties to prevail on the male guber candidates to pick women as their running mates.
He stated that if PDP, APC, APGA and others who have men flying their party flags pick a woman as running mate, whichever party that wins come 2023 we will have a woman Vice President or Deputy Governor.
He said the Center is called on His Excellency Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi the executive Governor of Enugu state, who started the trend to take the lead on this advocacy for more women deputy Governors.
CIPDI also called on INEC to keep voter registration open, because there are people turning 18 every day, and this will give them the opportunity to register to vote.
