She is a capacitated woman”
She added that the party Presidential flag-bearer who was two term governor of Lagos is someone that supports women in politics and had female deputies during his tenure “Apart from Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, who was deputy to former Lagos State Governor, Micheal Otedola, from 1992 to 1993, the state has enjoyed having female deputy governors through Tinubu’s support.
