The chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yobe State, Muhammad Gadaka, has suggested that married women whose husbands refuse to allow them to vote for the party should seek a divorce. Gadaka, speaking at a campaign rally in Nangere, offered to pay their dowries and marry them in return for leaving their marriages. The suggestion has drawn criticism, with residents and Islamic scholars accusing Gadaka of recklessness and provocation, warning that it could undermine family values.
The APC leader has since apologized for the comment and withdrawn it, claiming it was intended as a joke and not reflective of his values.
