Former Governor of Rivers State, Hon. Chibuike Amaechi has said that women are qualified and capable of holding important positions in the country, other than the 35 percent action policy.
The Minister of Transportation, who made this known during the second edition of the Association of Nigerian Women Business Network (ANWBN) in Abuja, said women are far more intelligent
He stated that men and women are qualified to rule Nigeria, as he does not support domination of a particular gender.
Amaechi who charged women to believe in themselves and always show that they are intelligent, said women should be taken more seriously than dancing at a function.
“When ‘I am invited to a function and women are gathered dancing, I just wonder why women should be dancing at a function; women should be taking more serious ly than dancing at a function. “When you get to the table, assert your authority as somebody who is brilliant, who is intelligent to get what others are getting,” he said.
“I do not support male domination, neither do I support female domination. I believe that all of you seated here are qualified to rule this nation, I don’t believe that a particular seat should be set aside for a woman, reason is that, women are by far more intelligent than men,” he added.
