Empowering Female Political Aspirants for 2023 Electioneering Process
Sep 4, 2020
initiative
I have watched the figures of Female Political Representatives in Nigeria keep dwindling since 2009 from 1533 total number of seats occupied by women across different levels of elected political positions to 53 in 2019 for the same elected political positions.
i know this will not be easy, but i will do the best i can to support and empower those who wants to work with me on this auspice journey.
Recently i was involved in a campaign to swear in a female deputy local government chairman as the substantial chairman of a local government. The delay of almost 3 months after the demise of the Executive Chairman, was simply because she was a woman and all kinds of intrigues played out but at last she was sworn in. To God be the glory we won.
So i will want to do my best leveraging on my sisters in the WP Ambassadors to support me, WP Team and other colleagues to assist me drive this initiative.
