Women are more reliable in politics

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday admitted that women in politics are more reliable than their men counterparts.
Mr. Obasanjo said this when the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, bestowed on him an award titled Father of Nation
“In politics, women are more reliable than men. When a woman says she’s with you, you can really say 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,” he stated.
“When a politician 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,” he said.
The former president said politics must be decent and gone into with dignity and honour that women are known for. He disagreed with a situation where African women are not often given chance to exhibit their potentials because of cultural and religious background adding that this should not be so as men alone cannot make a society.
