The presidential candidate of the Labour Party LP, Peter Gregory Obi has said that Nigerian women are more productive and less corrupt than their male counterparts in the country.
Obi made this claim during The Peoples Townhall, organised by Channels Television on Sunday January 8, 2023.
During the meeting, Ebere Ifendu, President Women in Politics Forum (WIPF), noted that from INEC’s record, women record over 50% of registered voters but unfortunately “the percentage of women in governance is abysmally low” and asked the LP presidential candidate what he intends to do concerning this if elected.
She said: “I want to ask you specifically, what will you be doing to change the status of women in governance.”
Responding to her assertion, Obi revealed all the key positions women held in Anambra State when he was the governor and further pledged to bring more women into governance if elected president in the forthcoming general elections.
He said: “I can say it without anything; women are more productive in Nigeria than men any day, any time. I worked with them when I was in the banking industry; they saved the bank.
“I wish our men would do the same thing. And they (women) are less corrupt; they are easily satisfied with little.
“Men will just go on and on, forgetting that it is public money they are taking.”
