Nigeria first lady, Her Excellency Aisha Buhari has called on the National Assembly to recall the quest for women affirmative Action.
Mrs Buhari frowned at the recent decision by the National Assembly to ignore the long-standing clamour for Affirmative Action for Nigerian women which was contrary to the very high expectations of forward-looking Nigerian men and women.
The anger of Nigerians in the circumstance is therefore understandable, more so that not a single concession was made to women, contrary to the global practice of give-and-take for which people’s parliaments are noted for.
Aisha Buhari, First Lady of Nigeria, notwithstanding this temporary set-back, however, on behalf of the wife of the Vice President, HE Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, join the multitude of Nigerian men and women to thank relevant UN agencies, local and international Non-governmental organisations, faith-based groups and all other stakeholders and individuals for their charitable support for fair representation by women in legislative houses, public governance and management of political parties.
She was of the opinion that the esteemed National Assembly can still review its decision and pray that the compatriots will deeply reflect on this political, but emotive matter.
Her Excellency Aisha Buhari therefore call on both the Senate and the House of Representatives as Husbands, Fathers, Brothers and Grandfathers to revise and reconsider reversing their conclusions so that no group, especially mothers, wives, daughters and partners who women are, would suffer discrimination, or denied of opportunities to contribute to the process of nation-building.
