“I promise continued commitment to promoting gender equality, adherence to women’s rights and women participation in governance,” he said.

Soludo called on Anambra women to come out en masse to vote for the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the March 11 State House of Assembly election, for continued development.
