IWD: Peter Obi harps on inclusion of women in politics

In the spirit of this year’s International Women’s Day, Labour Party presidential candidate in the just-concluded presidential election, Peter Obi, has reiterated the need for greater inclusion of women in the politics of the country.

Discussions abound on the significance of women participation in politics for greater development.

In the list of legislators-elect recently released by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the aftermath of February 25 National Assembly elections, only sixteen females emerged victorious, against the perennial calls for women inclusion in politics.
