National President, National Council of Women Societies, Barrister Shafa’u Ladan
By Ude, Ogbonnaya Israel
The President, National Council for Women Societies (NCWS), Barrister Shafa’u Ladan, has raised concern over unwillingness of women in Bauchi State to vie for elective positions despite having massive voting numbers.
Barrister Ladan in an interview with Apex News Exclusive observed that women in Bauchi actively participated in voting even at the grassroots, but slacks in occupying political positions.
Barrister Ladan maintained that if women in Bauchi and other states alike are to vote for themselves during election, many of them will take the centre stage in various political seats given their population.
She added that it is the only way they can champion decisions on matters that exclusively affects them rather than leaving men to decide on their behalf.
The NCWS President expressed optimism that the recent protest of women across Nigeria on the gender bill turned down by lawmakers will receive better attention and favour of men soon.
