Nigerian Women Demand 50% Representation In Buhari’s Cabinet by milestonejnr(m): 12:10pm On Apr 17, 2015
Will this be possible?

Women on the platform of 100 Women Lobby Group and Change International Network have called on General Muhammadu Buhari to give 50% representation to Nigerian women in the forthcoming cabinet.


In an exclusive interview with Leadership in Abuja yesterday, the national coordinator of the group, Felicia Onibon, said “the meeting today is to tell the president-elect that he must put women in his cabinet. We are looking at 50%; if we are able to get that, fine, but if not, it should be 35%”.

Speaking on the participation of women in the recently concluded elections in most parts of the country, she said, “We have eight senators and 17 House of Representatives members, which is very low but at the same time encouraging, considering that we had over 20 in the last dispensation”.

She maintained that the participation of women in the electoral process was commendable, and it outweighed general expectations.

she said.

“Women participation in the election was fantastic; a lot of women came out to vote and what we have seen so far outweighs our expectations. We weren’t expecting anything near it considering what happened at the primaries where we felt women wouldn’t show up and we wouldn’t have the turnout we had”

No be only 50 percent; they should have made it 75 percent. They talk as if in the western nations they are trying to copy, 50% of positions are automatically reserved for women.

Very funny people.

What's more important is for jobs be given to the best people suited for the jobs.


When there is justice and fairness in a country, everyone gets what they rightly deserve or what's due to them, whether or they are men or woman.

But of course, there are countries which are exceptions to this rule : like Muslim countries which highly biased and repressive against women.

Even his wife doesn't have a position in his govt. They should wait till a woman becomes the president. Meanwhile I prayed in the same mosque with Buhari today
