FORMER PRES. OBJ ADVISES MEN TO EMULATE WOMEN IN POLITICS

To those who are still doubting , former President,Chief Olusegun Obasanjo has reaffirmed that women in politics are more reliable than their male counterparts.

 Obasanjo said this before, when some national executives and members of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ paid a visit on him at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta to present him with Father of the Nation award.

The former President, however, advised politicians to emulate women by playing politics with decency, dignity and honour like the female politicians. He frowned at a situation where African women are not often given chance to exhibit their potentials because of the cultural and religious background, adding that this should not be so as only men can not build the nation. He said: “One of the best journalists that ever served me was a woman, and that was the late Mrs Oluremi Oyo. “In politics, women are more reliable than men. When a woman says she’s with you, you can really take that she is with you.”
