Chikwe lauds Jonathan on women empowerment

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Women Leader, Dr Kema Chikwe, has said President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has given the greatest opportunity to Nigerian women since Independence.

According to her, “this could be seen in the number of women the President appointed to positions in Government, especially key positions like Petroleum Minister, Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, United Nations Ambassador and many others”.

Speaking during a reception in honour of Otunba Bashirat Noibi who recently decamped from the All Peoples Congress, APC, to the PDP, Dr. Chikwe called on Nigerian women to ensure the re-election of President Jonathan in 2015 to enable him continue to empower them.

In her speech Hajiya Noibi who is a National Coordinator of Jonathan Actualization Movement,  JAM, explained that she left the APC because the party “has nothing to offer to the Nigerian people.”
