One of the participants said: "The PDP government was the one that produced Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Dora Akunyili and I'm aware Atiku was part of the government then, we urge him to do more for women in his government to sustain the legacy of PDP, so we won't be relegated to the background as APC government is doing."

In her reaction, Jennifer Abubakar, a wife to PDP's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar assured Abia women of favourable positions should he husband win the forthcoming presidential election scheduled to hold on February 16.

Also addressing the women while receiving Jennifer, the second deputy chairman, Abia state council of Ndi-Eze, HRM Eze Elder S.A.
