Governor of Edo state, Godwin Obaseki has stated that the national assembly missed a “golden opportunity” to redesign the country’s political landscape when it rejected five bills seeking to include women in politics and governance.<\/p>\n

Both chambers of the national assembly on Wednesday voted\u00a0on bills seeking to amend the constitution.<\/p>\n

None of the gender bills<\/a> were successful during the process.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Obaseki described the action of the national assembly as \u201cpainful and unconscionable\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recent developments at the national assembly, in which five bills seeking affirmative action and inclusion for women were vehemently shut down by members, is most regrettably and unsettling,\u201d the governor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is because the legislature is the bastion of democracy and a critical platform for fair representation and inclusion in government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is therefore painful and unconscionable that these bills which provide a fillip for accommodating women who make up about 50 percent of the voting population, are subjected to such a sorry fate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is heartbreaking that the national assembly members missed a golden opportunity to redesign Nigeria\u2019s political landscape by enshrining landmark legislation that promotes inclusion and provides women with the legal backing to gain equitable representation at the apex level of lawmaking and political participation.\u201d<\/p>\n
