Women are more reliable in politics – Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo
A former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that women are more reliable in politics than their male counterparts.

The former President however said that women suffered cultural and religious inhibitions thus depriving them of political opportunities to exhibit
their potentials. He spoke on Wednesday when the national executive and members of the Nigeria Association
of Women Journalists visited him at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

The women journalists presented the ex-President with a Father of the Nation award during the visit.
Obasanjo said the task of building a nation could not be achieved only by men.

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 is with
you, you can really take it that she is with you.

“But if a man tells you he is with you and you catch him in another meeting, he will tell you it is politics. It should not be so.
“When a politician’s words cannot be believed, then you are turning politics into another thing. A politician must be a man or woman of honour that
believes in morality.”

Anyway, the 2015 election is just around the corner. Do you think a female President will be okay  Nigeria?
