Ireti Kingibe, senator representing the federal capital territory (FCT) says being a woman in the national assembly is very hard.
Ireti Kingibe, senator representing the federal capital territory , says being a woman in the national assembly is pretty difficult.
“But notwithstanding, since I have been a senator, I have empowered and I have everything on record. I have empowered 10,000 people. Now, it is not possible… FCT has 4 to 5 million people and for me to personally see everybody that voted for me. “So, at the end of the day, governance means to me… bringing things for the general good and not for the individual.“The truth is that being a woman in the national assembly is very, very, very hard. So, I have to lobby for everything. When I leave here, I will go to the national assembly, sign in and then go from ministry to ministry so that all those things that doesn’t get attention by the executive, I can slip them into the budget from lobbying different ministers to put it in their budget.
“So, I’m sorry. Yes, women complain, I haven’t come to them one by one; it is not possible. It is either I do that and then you don’t get anything else.
