But speaking in an interview with The Punch, the national women leader of the APC, Dr Betta Edu, said the vice president’s wife was playing a prominent role in the presidential campaign.
According to her, a name on paper does not translate to work on the ground as those who do the core work do not have their names on the Tinubu-Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team list.
“Now, the wife of the vice president, she is playing several prominent roles in this campaign. That her name is not on the list does not mean she is not playing a prominent role in the campaign,” Edu said.
