The former Anambra state Governor who remarked that the country cannot make sustainable progress if it continues to leave 50% of the population, which are women behind, urged them not to accept the candidates based on what they tell them they would do but should rather ask if they had proven it before now?

“I had 40% women in my cabinet in Anambra because I have found out that women were far more committed and trustworthy. When you need to have work done and done satisfactorily, get a woman to do it and you will not be disappointed”, he remarked.
