The National Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Umar Damagum has said that he wish for a woman to be the next president of Nigeria.
According to Damagun, the men have failed the present generation.
Damagum, represented by the PDP National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, made this statement during the PDP International Women’s Day 2024 celebration at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja on Friday.
PDP National Chairman stated, “The significance of mothers and the role of women cannot be overstated. Let me be sincere with you, I pray and hope that, even if not in our generation, one day a woman will become the president of this country. I say this with utmost sincerity and from the depth of my heart because I believe that the men have failed this generation.
“In politics, that’s why the founding fathers of PDP recognise the importance of women.
Today, in Nigeria, no matter how you look at it, PDP is the most democratic party in Nigeria and Africa. It’s the only party that provides women with the opportunity to aspire to any position without having to buy any form. We do this to encourage women.”
International Women’s Day is a day set aside to celebrate women worldwide.
The occasion honors the accomplishments of women in various social, economic, cultural, and political aspects, all the while advancing the movement for gender equality.
