The CEO/Founder of ElectHER, Ibijoke Faborode, raised concern over the low participation and representation of women as candidates in the 2023 elections, describing it as unacceptable.
Faborode said, “As we know that the numbers right now are not great, women are being marginalized, and it really serves no one. However, I don’t think everyone knows that and I feel a lot of people in Nigeria are operating from a place of ignorance because sometimes, people get angry when we advocate for women. But we should all know that women’s issues are not women’s issues. It’s a national issue and a global one at that.
“I look forward to a Nigeria where when we’re talking about women issues, we just don’t have women in the room. We have men who are male allies. Just now, I spoke about the correlation between women’s issues and the current issues we’re facing as a country like instability, inflation, foreign exchange, and reduction in foreign direct investment, all those things are linked to the lack of equity.
