Obasanjo, Ogun deputy gov make case for female president
“As for me, there’s nothing preventing the female gender from becoming the President of our country.”
She said, “We can’t give someone power, it has to be fought for, and we have to start bringing females into politics, even if it’s from the grassroots level so that they can gain enough experience to lead the country. “In Ogun State, we have 236 councillors but only 18 are females; we have 20 chairmen, only two are females; we have 26 seats in the House of Assembly, only two are females; in the House of Representatives, we have nine members, only one is female; we have three senators, no female and we have the deputy governor who is also a female.”
