Moreover she was not elected, She was made governor because the ruling governor was impeached. She will never have been made governor via election,

Virginia Etiaba has been sworn in as Nigeria's first female governor after Anambra state legislature impeached Peter Obi for gross misconduct.

She had been deputy governor in the south-eastern state and initially refused to take the position.

What can she do. When she promised to stood by Obi only to sworn in as governor in less than 24 hrs. She will still promise something and the next day do a dfifferent thing. Can she be trusted. She betrayed Peter Obi, she will betray Anambra people. By their fruit you shall know them.

    I'm of the opinion our women deserve a lot more than this.Virginia Etiaba is no more than a side-effect.An afterthought.When a woman is voted for and sworn in as a legitimate/bonafide governor not just a circumstantial damage control tool,then we can rejoice.
  I don't believe our women have any cause to be ecstatic yet.It's still a power play by the ever chauvinistic politicians

Nigeria's First Female Governor

Nigeria's First female Governor

Good things are beginning to happen in our country, for the first time, a woman is the executive governor of a state in Nigeria and to think of it being no other than ANAMBRA STATE.
I only hope she will not follow in the footsteps of her predecessors and other male politicians, well lets watch and see.

@Babyosisi,  Grin Grin Grin
Dont be afraid, we'll try not to yab u!! But na lie, men have not failed Nigeria woefully, have you heard that "behind or rather beside every successful man is a successful woman", well in Nigeria "Behind, beside, and in-front of every corrupt, irresponsible male politician or leader we've had, is a probably more corrupt woman encouraging him on."

There is something wrong with the manner in which she assumed duty and I see her compromising in all areas to retain the seat; howbeit she will end up on the streets like her predecessors.  Anambra state is a classic example of what happens when uneducated people abound in the political scene - "simply chaos"

Everything about this situation stinks to high heaven. Not that it really matters in Banana republic (Anambra state).
And the annoying Dame prefix used by this headmistress-like woman.

Before u guys start seeing, ELDORADO bear it in mind that d house members r only bidding dere time before impeaching her too because d whole game plan is to pave way for an andy uba governorship in 2007.
Dat is d game plan n in d next 3 months u will see it materialising.

Classic.

Does anyone remember what Chxta faced when Chxta brought up this same issue months ago?

More to come from other parts of Nigeria. . .

Can someone on this thread be kind enough to brief Eug and I on why Peter Obi was impeached ? Because I'm not sure what his offense was.

Many thanks.
