Celebrated Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde has declared that Nigeria to have a woman take the highest political office in the country.
She made this known in an interview with Punch Newspaper where she said, “What else do we need to be as women?
You have to agree with me that a lot of women are doing almost better than men now. We all know that women are now in charge of some households and we all know that women are good at organising as well as handling responsibilities.
I think Nigeria is ready for a female president.”
Speaking on the upcoming general elections in the country, Omotola said, “I am very impressed with the participation of young people in politics today.
Years ago, these people were not interested in politics. But I don’t think we should vote for people because they are young, as it will be misleading. We must ensure they are credible by asking questions. I think we should look out for their track records.”
“I urge Nigerians not to allow people to intimidate them again. They shouldn’t vote for people because they feel they will win.
Instead, vote for someone you believe in even though the person will get only two votes. We cannot continue to choose the lesser evil; we have to desist from that”, she added.
