A crisis seems to be brewing within the women’s wing of the ruling national All Progressives Congress (APC), as some aggrieved party chieftains have reportedly passed a vote of no confidence on the party’s women leader, Betta Edu.
Truetells Nigeria recalls that the APC women leader and other party leaders had on Friday visited President Bola Tinubu at the presidential villa in Abuja.
It was gathered that the APC-elected women executives and zonal leaders have unanimously passed a vote of no confidence in Edu and distanced themselves from her recent visit to the President.
However, in what looks like a looming crisis, elected female APC officers and their zonal counterparts have expressed dissatisfaction with Edu’s leadership.
According to Daily Post, the APC Deputy National Treasurer, Hon. Omorede Osifo and eight other women leaders had written to the President about their satisfaction with Edu.
The aggrieved women leaders alleged that Edu misrepresented the women of the party during her visit to the Presidential Villa.
They further asserted that Edu wasn’t representing the interest of elected National Women Officials and Zonal Women Leaders of the party as she portrayed during her visit to the president.
The aggrieved women leaders also claimed that many of the women she paraded during the visit were fake and not the democratically elected national officers, including National Executive Council Members, Zonal Women Leaders, three women senators, 15 female House of Representatives members, and other relevant women leaders and stakeholders.
