An Ilorin based legal practitioner, Mr Bayo Ahmed, has advocated the need for more women to take part in political activities in the country.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Ahmed, who gave the advice in Ilorin<\/a> on Friday in an interview with oir correspondent said women should stop running away from politics.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to him, most women see politics as strictly men activities.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cPolitics is not men\u2019s game alone. It\u2019s everybody\u2019s game. Women are as important as men in politics.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cMost parents discourage their grown up daughters to play politics. They tag it dirty and not good for women.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe have seen women in Nigeria performing well in their political offices.<\/a> Women also have idea and can proffer solution to Nigeria problem, if allowed,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Besides, the legal practitioner called on women to enter political stage and stop running away from politics.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He called on government and political party officials to stop discriminating against women.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
