The women in a procession through the Government House and other streets in Lokoja begged Gov. Bello to assist women in getting the Senate slot.
Speaking on behalf of the women, Mrs Aisha Kasim and Mrs Orenusi Tosun from Lokoja and Kabba axis respectively, declared that the only woman aspirant for the Kogi West Senatorial seat is given the chance.
According to them”Yahaya Bello is a women-friendly Governor who has maintained his stand on offering equal opportunities for both male and female folks in politics”
“We remain grateful to God for Governor Bello’s fair disposition for women. The Governor had earlier through his human face policy ensured that women were elected into the office of vice-chairman in the 21 local government areas of the state as well as their appointments into his cabinet and other government agencies and parastatals.”
