Professor Remi Sonaiya: is the first woman in Nigeria to seek to become Nigerias President


is the first woman in Nigeria to seek the highest seat in the land running as the Presidential flag bearer under the Kowa Party at the recently concluded 2015 Nigerian Presidential Elections. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts in French from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) graduating with the best result in her faculty and also received a PhD in linguistics from Cornell University. She became a professor of French Language and Applied Linguistics in 2001

I disagree on this: the first nigeria female to aspire for the presidential candidate is sarah jibrin under the umbrella of PDP who later became a special adviser to president goodluck jonathan on ethics and values, thank you.

wat of the first nigeria woman to do abortion?
