The National President of the forum, Zulai Shehu Bello, spoke to journalists on the sidelines of a one-day sensitisation programme for women ahead of the 2019 elections on their decision.
Bello said women were natural leaders and come 2019 presidential election, they would mobilise and work for any credible female presidential candidate that would emerge ahead of the presidential election.
She added that the forum had since its formation reached out to other Nigerians on the need to change the current male-dominated politics in the country.
“If we have a credible female woman vying for President, we will vote for the woman and not Buhari or Atiku,” she said.
