Former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
believes that women can do better in public offices than men.
He said this yesterday November 5
when members of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, paid him a
visit at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, where he was presented with a
Father of the Nation plaque. 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.”
