Female Rep joins speakership race, seeks gender balancing

Rep. Miriam Onuhoa (APC-Imo) has declared interest to contest for the Speaker of House of Representatives of the 10th National Assembly ahead of its official inauguration in June.

Onuoha called for the declaration of state of emergency on the involvement of women in leadership positions, adding that Nigeria’s political space was male-dominated.

Onuoha, a returning member, made the declaration in Abuja on Wednesday.
