Obasanjo spoke on Wednesday when the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, paid him a courtesy visit at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta and bestowed on him an award titled Father of Nation.
His words: “In politics, women are more reliable than men. When a woman says she’s with you, you can really say that she is with you. But if a man tells you he is with you and you catch him in another meeting, he will tell you it is politics, it should not be so.
“When a politician words cannot be believed then you are turning politics into another thing. A politician must be a man or woman of honour that believes in morality”
Obasanjo condemned the situation whereby African women, as a result of cultural and religious backgrounds, are not allowed to explore their potentials.
