Hajiya Asia El-Rufai, wife of Gov. Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has demanded for the position of Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) for women in the administration of Bola Tinubu.

The governor’s wife said this at the celebration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Professional Women Council in Abuja.

She added that the positions of the Minister of Health, Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), the Deputy Chief of Staff (DCoS) to the President, should be reserved for women.

She said, “We want the SGF to be given to a woman, it has never been done, we want the Minister of Health and at the very least the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President to be given to women.

“Our leader, Tinubu is very sensitive to the role of women in nation building and I assure we will have that 35 per cent affirmative we have been clamouring for.

“However, it is up to us to present a united front and the time has come for the Nigeria women to take their rightful place in our nation,” she said.

She said that the progress of one woman would amount to the progress of all women in the country, and called on women to rally behind Tinubu presidential bid.
