PRESIDENCY: Nigeria is Ripe for a Female President – Olusegun Obasanjo

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo on Thursday, advocated for a female presidency in Nigeria.
He spoke at the 5th edition of the Egba Dialect Debate and Choral Competition for Secondary Schools in Ogun Central Senatorial District, in Abeokuta .
The event which featured a debate session with the theme: “Nigeria is ripe for a female president”, was organised by the Pro-Chancellor of University of Lagos, Dr. Lanre Tejuoso.
In his remarks, Obasanjo said he supported the motion, saying the female folks should be given a trial.
According to him, it’s only when power is being passed and shared equally among both genders, will the country stand strong again and develop.

Obasanjo said, “From my own view, if we want the country to grow, we should consider both genders, because a hand can’t carry a load to the head alone.
“You can do it as you want, but it should be done as it is supposed to be, we can gain experience from both genders, what’s the difference between the genders? Only that the female can get pregnant for nine months and a male can’t. That’s the only difference in us.
“As for me, there’s nothing preventing the female gender to be the president of our country.”
Corroborating Obasanjo , the deputy governor of Ogun state, Naimot Salako-Oyedele, also called for the need to bring in females into politics.
According to her, only few females are in power in the country, adding that same is applicable to Ogun state.
She said, “We can’t give someone power, it has to be fought for, and we have to start bringing female into politics, even if it’s from the grassroot level, so that they can gain enough experience to lead the country.
“If she can start from being a councillor and we see that she’s capable, then, she can move to the next level. She said.

Sadly, females don't vote females . The few females that hit top positions in the past messed it up and then came Buhari when was the 'oxa rum" advocate.Only Ngozi is exceptional but Nigeria saw her as very bad in her ministerial days until God opened her heavens. We will get there!
