The Minister of Transportation, Mr. Chibuike Amaechi has
said women should be given a chance to handle more political appointments than
men.
The former Governor of Rivers State said this while speaking
at the second edition of the Association of Nigerian Women Business Network
(ANWBN) in Abuja.
The Minister noted that women are far more intelligent than
men and are capable of holding positions of authority in society.
“I do not support male domination, neither do I support
female domination. I believe that all of you seated here are qualified to rule
this nation.
“I don’t believe that a particular seat should be set aside
for a woman, the reason is that women are by far more intelligent than men and
should be given more political appointments.
“The Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina
Muhammed was selected not because she was a woman but because she performed
excellently well in her previous position.
“When ‘I am invited to a function and women are gathered
dancing, I just wonder why women should be dancing at a function when they
ought to be given better positions at the function.
“Women in politics stay for meetings till 2am. So if your
husband allows you to join politics, he should be ready to support you.
“Any woman I have ever given appointment merited it.
However, women are also a problem unto themselves because whenever an
appointment is given to a woman, the others start saying the man is dating the
woman and that she did not get the appointment because she merited it,” he
said.
