*Women are always deputy gov in Lagos and after the Election you dont hear anything of them again....
This one looks sharp. When will all dis big political parties field women governorship candidates?
ReplyDeleteThey will be picking women deputies only to relegate them to the background for 4/8yrs
Stella same thing goes on minister of finance position. That portfolio always go to the women that you think men aren't capable to hold such office.
ReplyDeleteRivers state has a woman as deputy so also is Enugu state but we hardly hear their names. So so wrong and not good for such a position.
Ogun state too. You hardly see or hear them. But their wives
ReplyDeleteJK... Just Kidding

ReplyDeleteThe question is, how many times do you hear the names of MALE deputy governors in other states in Nigeria? It is not just about female deputy governors in Lagos state but ALL deputy governors.
