Anambra State Leads Nigeria in Women’s Political Representation

Anambra State has emerged as a beacon of female political empowerment in Nigeria, with women holding significant positions across various levels of government. Currently, three out of the seven House of Representatives members from Anambra are women, underscoring the state’s commitment to gender equality in leadership.

Remarkably, Anambra is the only Nigerian state to have had a female governor. Additionally, in the previous administration, two out of the three senators representing the state were women, highlighting a continued trend of female political participation and leadership.

Under the leadership of Willie Obiano, the immediate past governor, the Anambra State House of Assembly had a female Speaker. This achievement stands in stark contrast to many other states in Nigeria, where women struggle to secure even a single legislative seat, let alone the Speaker position.

Anambra’s history of female political engagement dates back to 1999, when Senator Joy Emodi ran for governorship under the APP, one of the top two political parties at the time. Although she narrowly missed becoming governor, her candidacy marked a significant milestone in the state’s political landscape.

The state’s culture of strong female leadership is deeply rooted. Anambra women are known for their leadership qualities and resilience, and this has not diminished the status or respect of Anambra men.

From the banks of the River Niger to the Ulasi River in the east and the Omambala River in the northwest, Anambra women are renowned for their strength, nurturing capabilities, and unyielding resolve. They are a testament to the power and potential of female leadership in Nigeria.

ORJI UZOR KALU GETS A HERO’S WELCOME IN ABIA

Senator Orji Uzor Kalu received a rousing welcome when he returned to Abia state on Monday, July 27, months after he was released from prison…

Recall that in December 2019, the former Abia state governor was sentenced to 12 years in prison after he was convicted for N7.1bn fraud alongside his firm, Slok Nigeria Limited, and a former Director of Finance during his tenure, Ugo Udeogu.

The Supreme court on May 8, 2020, then nullified Kalu and Udeogo’s conviction on grounds that the presiding judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, lacked the jurisdiction to have presided over their case. He was released from Kuje prison on June 3, 2020.

On Monday, July 27, he made a triumphant return to the state and was received by his teeming supporters.
