“We need to start moving fast to
prepare women for future elections. Until we elect 35 per cent or more of women
in the legislature, the impact of our progress will not be complete. We know of

more deputy governors.

“We are even more confident that
when President Goodluck Jonathan returns in 2015, women would be talking about
50 per cent no longer 35 per cent. As we give him unequivocal, undiluted,
unreserved and unlimited support and as we march with him to 2015, PDP women
will reach the promised land,” Chikwe said.
