2023 presidency: Trouble for Atiku, Tinubu, Obi as Muslim Students reveal preferred presidential candidate, gives condition for support

  • Muslim Students have said only candidates with plans for women will be supported in the forthcoming 2023 elections
  • They are of the opinion that women were not economically empowered, like men, to compete with them
  • Meanwhile, the call for more female representatives in government has heightened in recent times and Peter Obi, Labour Party flagbearer has promised to assign elective positions to women in his administration if he emerges president in 2023

The female wing of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria (MSSN), Lagos State chapter, has urged members and other Muslim women across the country to vote for only those that will respect their rights to hijab in schools and workplaces, Daily Trust reported.

It also urged them to consider the public records of the candidates, their ability to uphold the constitution and obedience to court orders, character, leadership qualities and ability to transform Nigeria.
