The lawmaker, who gave the charge in a message to mark the 2023 International Women's Day on Wednesday, said the contribution of women voters to the survival of democracy was immeasurable.
Wamako, in the statement, noted that Sokoto state and indeed Nigeria’s democratic space would not have recorded success without the valuable contribution of women to the process.
He said, “On this occasion of the International Women’s Day for the year 2023, I salute the resilience of our womenfolk and commitment to voting in all elections as active participants in political transition in general. “I pray that Allah almighty bless the input of our women in ensuring the deepening of democracy and I wish to enjoin them to embrace the culture of defending their votes anywhere, any day because they have the constitutional rights to do so.”All rights reserved.
