.....Interestingly, some of the other nine candidates have come to the contest with impressive resumes.

One of such candidates is Sonaiya, 59, the only woman in the contest. She is a professor of French and Applied Linguistics and a former lecturer at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State.

In 2008, Sonaiya was named an International Ambassador Scientist of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, the first Nigerian to be appointed in the position she occupied between 2008 and 2014. Until recently, she was the National Public Relations Officer of her party.

KOWA was registered as a political party on July 16, 2009, by a group of Nigerian civil society activists, professionals and technocrats.

Sonaiya was a blogger for NEXT Newspaper until it stopped publishing and she is presently a columnist with The Niche, a Nigerian weekly newspaper. She is a Christian, who described herself as a true representative of the people.

“I am running based on the strong conviction that somebody needed to do this – I mean somebody ordinary, a true representative of the people,” she said in her mission statement.

If Sonaiya wins the election, she will become the first Nigerian female President.
