The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has condemned the all-male meeting held by southwest leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The NIDCOM boss said it is gender insensitivity that no woman was part of the meeting which held in Lagos State on Friday.
Dabiri-Erewa took to her Twitter account on Saturday to demand why the women leader at least could not have been invited to the meeting.
She wrote: “Hmnnn! Meeting of Apc SouthWest Elders/ leaders.NOT ONE SINGLE WOMAN!From the whole of the SouthWest Dia is God oooooo.”
The crucial meeting was convened by a former Governor of Osun State, Chief Bisi Akande was attended by 2023 presidential aspirants of the APC including the party’s National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State; Chief Olusegun Osoba, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila; Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State; Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State and many others.
At the end of the meeting, the South-West presidential aspirants under the All Progressives Congress could not agree on a consensus candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections.
This is as the former chairman of the ruling party, Bisi Akande called for decorum in the campaign and warned the aspirants not to allow the South-West miss the opportunity to emerge as the presidential candidate of the party.
