we can take male chauvinism out of our minds, a lot of things will work out positively for women in this country. - Khadija Bukar Abba Ibrahim

We must not be taken as enemies of progress. We should be taken as friends of progress…whatever the situation, we must be seen to also have the guts and will power to see that we try and contest for such leadership elections.

It will make our women folk proud that indeed a woman tried – a woman participated in the process of choosing leaders of both houses.

We should consider our country first because it is hugely diverse in culture, religion and any aspect of society you are thinking about.
