"We have two big pillars, we want to improve the lives of our people and create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

"Under the first pillar, we want to look at technology, health and education. In terms of creating an enabling environment, we want to create a situation where the ease of during business in the state is 100 per cent.

"When the ease of doing business is improved, production in the different sectors will increase," she said.

"A lot of women are always at the back door, it is time we took our place in the political space. We have to be at the table, so that we can shake it.

"We thank all our fathers who are standing with us to bring light to the state, we are happy that our fathers are ready to support us," she said.

Speaking on getting support from fellow women, she said "the myth that women don't support women is gone; today's women support one another, there is a new sisterhood".
