PDP announces new National Women Leader

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has announced Amina Arong as its new National Women Leader.

This was confirmed in a statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba.

Mr Ologunagba said that Ms Arong, who hailed from Cross River, was a prominent women mobiliser for the one-time ruling party in Nigeria.

He expressed optimism that the new Women Leader would bring on board her intellectual capacity as well as experience as a women leader.

Mr Ologungba said that Ms Arong, a holder of a Diploma in Banking and Finance and a B.Sc. in Accounting, would serve out the term of the late National Women Leader, Prof. Stella Effah-Attoe, who died on October 29.

“The PDP congratulates and tasks the new national women leader to deploy her capacity and experience in working with other members of the National Working Committee for the continuing stability, growth and success of our great party,” he said.
