the Eastern House of Chiefs. No woman was nominated to the Northern Region’s legislative institutions.is best remembered for his 1953 motion calling for Nigeria’s Independence in 1956. This bit of history stayed with him throughout his lifetime. However, he should be identified with another equally important piece of history.
He also said that if the Motion was accepted, he wanted three important factors to be put into consideration, that: The appointments should be of a representative character; women of moral integrity should be appointed; and also women of intelligence. Alhaji Adegoke of the National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons , who sat on the Opposition Bench, gave the Motion his full commendation: “If past performance would be taken into consideration in appointing a woman, there would undoubtedly be no difficulty in finding one who would sit on the NCNC bench.”
Suffice to say, throughout the duration of the Second World War, press notices stating “The government’s regret at the casualties sustained by Units of the Nigerian Regiment serving overseas” were published.

Prince Adedoyin Adeleke, a lawyer and a future speaker of the Assembly, objected to the idea on the grounds of its “unconstitutionality.” He said such a decision and discretion was up to the Lieutenant Governor. As we know, the latter – Mr Hugo Frank Marshall, C.M.G. – had the power to nominate and re-nominate Special Members to the legislature.
