"“First and foremost, there is nothing that says a woman cannot be a president in Nigeria because we have women who could even perform better than the men but the African culture has really restrained our women, we are just coming out gradually. Men have started accepting the fact that we must have to share this space, that they must have to allow us share this space with them. And that it is a gradual process, I am sure you would be surprised that by the time we would have a female president, it is the men that would nominate them, you would be surprised. It is happening everywhere now.”"
