Speaking during the conference, the ex-governor noted that the role of women in politics cannot be underestimated.
He also pointed out that women are more committed and loyal to both the candidate and the party.
“I must say that women are the most reliable allies in politics and I am admitting that their roles cannot be underestimated in Nigerian politics.
“I commended them for coming out from their shell to seek political relevance and hold political offices in our country,” he added.
One of the women leaders, 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 dwell on the rights and privileges of women being currently discussed in the national assembly.
