President Muhammadu Buhari's Minister of Women Affairs and Social Development, Senator Jummai Alhassan, visited the PDP headquarters in Abuja on Monday.
Alhassan was received by the Chairman, National Caretaker Committee of the party, Ahmed Makarfi
The Minister's visit was to support gender quota across political parties ahead of the 2019 elections.
She begged the party leaders to join hands with women as various political parties commenced preparations for 2019 general elections .
Apart from seeking gender quota , the minister said women were demanding that the APC , the PDP and other political parties should make women’s wings within political parties to be part of the political party decision - making structures, formulate strategies for prevention of violence against women in elections.
The Peoples Democratic Party has asked women to be ready to pay for nomination forms instead of waiting to be asked to pick them free by political parties.
It said this would enhance their participation and also earn them respect in politics.
