The Kogi Central Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate in the just concluded general elections, Barr. Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has called on women not to fade off, charging them to own their space in the scheme of things in the country.
The PDP senatorial candidate made the call in a message to mark the 2023 International Women’s Day (IWD), explaining that only two women made it so far to the 10th Senate in the just concluded general elections.
While promising to get the stolen mandate for the good people of Kogi Central senatorial district, she noted that only three women in the 10th Senate would be shameful for Nigeria’s democracy.
“As we celebrate international women’s day… It should be noted that only two women made it to the 10th senate . No doubt, we shall get our mandate back by God’s grace but only three is shameful for our democracy… for our gender equity and representation,” she said.
Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that for the sake of gender equity and fair representation, more women need to be in elective positions and be actively involved in decision-making.
