Governors Adams Oshomhole and Babatunde Fashola of Edo and Lagos States respectively say it is not bad for Nigeria to have a female president sijce the male leaders have failed the country.
The duo spoke at the opening ceremony of the 2013 National Women Conference organized by the Committee of Wives of Lagos State Officials, COWLSO, held at the Eko Hotels and Suits, Victoria Island, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on Tuesday.
Oshiomhole stated that the feat achieved by the late former British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher is yet to be rivaled till this moment, saying that the woman was able to take Britain to an enviable height.
“There are evidences around the world where women have led. There is no question in my mind that we need to create a level playing field for the women,” he stated.
In his address, Fashola said there was the growing need for women to take over the helm of affairs of this nation as they had shown that they could be better leaders more than the male folk.
“We are waiting for the women to take over. Our world will be better if women take over. The best emerging economy today in the world is being driven by women. The women have been there with me in my government,” he said.
