Minister of Women Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, has withdrawn from the senatorial race of Plateau South Senatorial district.
Tallen, who had purchased the All Progressives Congress (APC) form, made this known in a statement on Monday.
The statement read in part: “I remain resolute as I continue to relish the opportunity to serve Nigerian Women in my capacity as Minister of Women Affairs under the able leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
“Consequently, I wish to inform you all that following broad-based consultations and interventions from critical stakeholders, I have decided to withdraw from running for the senatorial seat, mindful of our accomplishments and the notable progress we have recorded under my stewardship at the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs.”
