Senator Dino Melaye Statement Read:
I can see that the Leadership of the National Council of Women Societies (NCWS) does not know that the Deputy Governor of Rivers state is a woman.
They also do not know that the Asari-Toru LGA Chairman is female and that the other 22 LGAs have female Vice Chairman. They also do not know that Rivers has a Female in the Senate. Sen. Olujimi and co are female senators. They also do not know that there are female Commissioners in Rivers state. The also do not know there are many female appointees in Rivers state. And this has been so since Wike became Governor.
If there’s any Governor who deserves the Gender inclusive award, it’s Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers. Infact the most Gender friendly Governors are the PDP Governors with special focus on the South. Please go and check their cabinets and the LGA Leadership of their states. Also check their States Assembly and their NASS Representatives. There are women everywhere.
