Special focus in today’s gubernatorial and State Assembly elections would be on Adamawa and Rivers States. The elections in the two states are of great interest to Nigerian women, especially coming barely days after the celebration of the International Women’s Day (IWD) and particularly the Presidential and National Assembly polls.
Results from the February 25 National Assembly Election left a very sordid picture of the struggle by Nigerian women to be part of decision making in the country. The dismal outing by the womenfolk was highlighted by the return of just three candidates as winners in the Senatorial poll.
