“Honestly, if you want to fight poverty in power, empower women. I can tell you why I believe this is so,” Abubakar said.
“When my mother separated from my father, I was a toddler. My mother took me back to my grandmother and got remarried. So, my grandmother was the one who brought me up until I went to school.
“From there, when she died, my mother took me over and it was my my mother that brought me up to be what I am today.
“So, I am not talking politics, I am sentimentally and emotionally attached to womanhood.”
“In terms of quantity and quality women will play a lead role in our administration,” he said.
