Women Group Hails Jonathan on Affirmative Action
Abuja – A socio-political group for women and youth, known as Affirmative Action Development Allies, AADA, has expressed their appreciation to the President Goodluck Jonathan administration.
The National Coordinator of the group, Hon. Tina Akonobi who stated this at the group’s inauguration in Abuja, said that anyone who gives 33 percent opportunity to the women is an automatic ally of the women.
According to her,’ Affirmative Allie’, is a house hold name, drawn out from the Beijing conference’s fall out of 33% for women in appointive and elective positions in every country, so anyone who is developing this affirmative action is an ally of the women.
Akonobi maintained, “President Goodluck gave not only 33 percent opportunities to Nigerian women in both appointive and elective portfolios but, he over gave and he ensured he even gave solid portfolios to women such as minister of Finance, Minister of Petroleum Resources, Minister of Water Resources, Minister of Environment, and Minister of State for FCT, Director Generals and so many more, all of which are women”.
“Nigerian women are at the helm of affairs in this country and the only way, we as Nigerian women can show gratitude to him is by voting him in for continuity,” said Akonobi.
Meanwhile fielding questions from journalists, former Governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife stressed: “My advice to all Nigerians is to accept what God has given us, God has given us President Jonathan, he has given us raw materials, oil, gold, diamond even human beings with many talents.“We have great country which with purpose can be developed to be the latest country in this world. What we need to do is to love our country and love each other.
“I also want Nigerians to know that, we are going to live as one country even after 2015, don’t mind what some candidates are saying that Nigeria will be wasted or some people will die. We are not dying, we all have access to God; let us pray to God to make anybody He brings up survive.
