EKO HOT BLOG reports that a former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, yesterday described women as the most reliable allies in politics, saying their roles could not be undermined in Nigerian politics.

He made the assertion at the maiden Edo North APC’s women’s conference, held in Iyamho, Uzairue, Etsako West Local Government Area of the state, organised by the women’s wing of the party.

Oshiomhole, who recently declared interest in the Edo North senatorial seat, further opined that women were known to be more committed and loyal to both the candidate and the party.

The former national chairman of the APC added that the support of the women were really needed if one wanted to go far in Nigerian politics especially while seeking for a political position.

He commended them for coming out from their shells to seek political relevance and hold political offices in our country.

Earlier in her remark, Mrs Dame Omua-Okpaku said the women’s conference is timely and pungent, stating that some of the issues to be raised and debated at the conference will also have bearing on the rights and privileges of women being currently discussed in the national assembly.
