Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said this yesterday, when some national executives and members of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, visited him at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, where he was presented with Father of the Nation award.
The former President,
however, advised that politics must be played with decency, dignity and honour
that women are known for. 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 cannot
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 can really take that she is with you.
