Ikorodu Chairmanship aspirant says she can become
president

Princess Folashade Olabanji-Oba says she can become
Nigeria's first female president.
Excerpts:
Other than the manifestos which show what a politician
wants to do for the electorates, what truly is the reason
behind this political declaration?
To tell anyone who cares to listen that the Ikorodu of our
dreams is achievable, that the Ikorodu of our dreams is a
mission that must be possible. That we need to start living
the realizations and manifestations of the Ikorodu of our
dreams.
What exactly is this Ikorodu of your dreams?
That we cannot be living in Ikorodu and be afraid, we need
to be proud of our homeland. That, that hashtag (Made In
Ikorodu) must be synonymous with the Centre of
Excellence that this state is known for... that is my
passion.




This is not the first time we are hearing people talk about
transforming the country and the state, how is yours any
different from theirs?
Well, you know I can talk about the past ten years that I
have been in Ikorodu and anyone who knows me will attest
to the fact that I live Ikorodu everyday.
It is not something I can do by myself. But I know, if given
the opportunity in the office, with help and support, this
kingdom will experience an unusual transformation.
I was brought up to be as tough as man, I can also do what
the men can do.
Most of your opponents, if not all, are men. What is giving
you the assurance that you are likely to come out tops?
It is not my style to put anybody down, I will talk for Me.
And charity, they say, starts from the home.
My father of blessed memory wanted a boy, but he had me
as his first daughter and before he died, he called me ten
men in one (okunrin mewa). He'd call me 'Akanke, okunrin
mewa' meaning that he raised me tough like a boy which
was just stereotype.
Everyday now we raise our children to be tough, stop
limiting them because of their sexes. I am a mother of
eight, I work hard, and I tell my children that I want their
wives to bless me and say 'your mother did an awesome
job'. I made their jobs easier for them, so being a woman
does not make you any less of a person.
Being a woman is a bigger platform, you have a bigger
heart, you are equipped to take the whole load and come
out pretty. So it is a special grace.
As a woman with ten men inside of her, apparently
you're...
(Cuts in) Ah! I'm still learning... I am still learning because
everyday it is a whole new experience for me and those
are the things I believe have equipped me to do this job.
And I know that this time around, I am the best that they
can have for the post.

Obviously, you must have a bigger ambition even though
you're starting with the chairmanship post. Do you think
you have what it takes to become Nigeria's first female
president?
Amen! You know what? I have thought about it and I am
not stopping. The sky is going to be the stepping stone for
me.
So you think it can happen that you'll become Nigeria's
first female president?
It can happen! Our president's wife, who is one of my
sweethearts, has said enough of the male domination. As a
woman, come out and prove yourself because that is the
only way for women.
For you guys, it is normal. But for the woman, your track
records, your antecedents are the things that will speak for
you. For someone like that, she inspires me and God, for
me, says it is very doable and so we'll get there.
