Omosede Igbinedion Speaks On Losing Her Re-election Bid by TeeeVeeee: 4:25pm On Mar 02, 2019
Hon. Omosede Igbinedion is the daughter of Sir Gabriel (Esama of Benin) and Lady Cherry Igbinedion. 37-year-old Omosede is the outgoing House of Representatives member representing Ovia South/West-Ovia North/East Federal Constituency - she lost her re-election bid on 23rd February 2019 during the National Assembly election. 38-year-old Dennis Idahosa of the All Progressives Congress(APC) defeated Omosede.


Using her verified Instagram page to speak on her loss to Idahosa, Omosede Igbinedion in a post titled 'What Hope Is There For The Nigerian Woman?' said: "More worrisome than the outright electoral fraud and intimidation that led to my mandate being stolen, I am deeply saddened by the dire threat to women's already limited place in a deteriorated Democracy. Women only had 6.4 % representation in the 2015 administration, a regression from the President Goodluck Johnathan’s 33% in accordance with the global affirmative action quota of 35%.


"Women deserve to have their needs represented by someone who truly understands them, women deserve the opportunity to participate in the political space and occupy a seat at the decision-making table. To the young women in Ovia and Nigeria at large, whether in an official capacity or not, I shall continue to fight for us and champion our issues, as the late Kofi Annan rightly stated: “There is no development strategy more beneficial to society as a whole-women and men alike- than the one that involves women as central players” I am proud to be the first woman to ever go to the House of Representatives from Edo State and the youngest woman in the 8th Assembly. Women lets ask for more, we deserve more."
