Most Men Venture Into Politics To Amass Wealth, Not To Serve - Bucknor-Akerele

<blockquote>Senator Kofoworola Bucknor-Akerele, a former Deputy Governor of Lagos State has called for more women participation in politics, saying she is not impressed with how men have been managing the affairs of the nation.<br><br>Speaking in an interview with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Bucknor-Akerele said most men who come into politics are there to amass wealth and enrich their pockets rather than working for the benefit of the nation.<br><br>According to her, Nigeria situation will change for the better if we have more females occupying positions of authority.<br><br>I am not impressed by the men at all. Most of them seem to be there to fill their pockets and not for the benefit of the country. I think if we have more females in government, the country will be in a different condition completely.<br><br>I will say to the women and the youths come out and vote. I am pleased to see that in Ekiti state, so many women have come out to contest in the forthcoming governorship election.<br><br>I think there are about nine women aspirants for the governorship in Ekiti state. I hope that we will see this in other states as well because you cannot have a country where half of the population is excluded from governance and expected that country to make meaningful progress.</blockquote><a rel=ugc href="https://independent.ng/most-men-venture-into-politics-to-enrich-their-pockets-bucknor-akerele/">https://independent.ng/most-men-venture-into-politics-to-enrich-their-pockets-bucknor-akerele/</a>
