There’s nothing preventing the female gender from becoming the President of our country – Obasanjo

During the 5th edition of the Egba Dialect Debate and Choral Competition for Secondary Schools in Ogun Central Senatorial District held in Abeokuta, former President Olusegun Obasanjo emphasized the importance of having a female President in Nigeria.

Obasanjo expressed his belief that Nigeria can benefit from the leadership of both genders. He stated that for the country to progress, it is crucial to consider the perspectives and contributions of both men and women, as one hand alone cannot carry a load to the head.

He said; “From my own view, if we want the country to grow, we should consider both genders, because a hand can’t carry a load to the head alone.

“You can do it as you want, but it should be done as it is supposed to be. We can gain experience from both genders. What’s the difference between the genders? Only the female can get pregnant for nine months and a male can’t. That’s the only difference between us.

“As for me, there’s nothing preventing the female gender from becoming the President of our country.”
