2023: Contenders and Pretenders: Pauline Tallen withdraws from Senate race

May 16, 2022

By InfactNG

Women Affairs Minister, Pauline Tallen, has dropped her senatorial ambition in the 2023 election.

Tallen who made this known in a statement in Abuja on Monday also said she has not resigned her position as a minister.

She said her decision was to enable her to focus on the foundation laid toward the advancement and realisation of gender equality in leadership positions in the country.

“With profound gratitude and great humility, I have decided to voluntarily step down from the Senatorial race sequel to the yearnings of Women and other well-meaning Nigerians who see the need for a strong voice for women at the Senate having consulted widely with my family, well-wishers and supporters conscious of the role I play for women in Nigeria today.

“So, to all Nigerian women and young girls who have raised concerns as to what next, rest assured that I, Dame Pauline K. Tallen, OFR, KSG have not submitted any resignation letter.

“And therefore, it is my decision not to go ahead with this request but carry on as the Minister of Women Affairs,” she said.

According to her, President Buhari’s commitment to the advancement of women necessitated the need for her to continue as the minister, which will aid in addressing challenges affecting women and children.

“Our nation has a long-standing commitment to overcoming the challenges that inhibit women from bringing about positive changes and the requisite impacts when given a place at the table of decision making.

“My appointment as the Minister of Women Affairs is indicative of this progress and I cannot lose sight of this opportunity,” she said.

Tallen had announced that she will be vying for the Plateau South Senatorial seat in the 2023 general elections on May 8.

Buhari had on Thursday, issued a directive to all appointees seeking nomination ahead of the APC primaries to resign on or before May 16.
