Women are the builders of their own political problems, claims Chief Ejike Okechukwu, a member of the Anambra House of Assembly who represents Anaocha II Constituency.
This was made clear by Okechukwu, who is also the chairman of the House Committee on Basic Education, when he met with the Anambra 100 Women Lobby Group and 50-50 Women Action Group of Women Aide Collective (WACOL) in Awka.
Women need to quit complaining that guys are assaulting or violating them. In reality, males do not wish political misfortune on women who have dabbled in politics.
“For reasons best known to them, the women don’t take advantage of their collective strength to help one another.
“Women make rules in their meetings regarding how their burial rites, widowhood, girl child conduct should be it is not the men.
“They put in unfriendly rules starting from the period of mourning, shaving of hair, what to wear, genital mutilation among others.

“They enforce these rules too, so they should go back to the basics and change those archaic rules,” he said.
He said that women should look inward to discard any practices of harmful rules against them, especially the rural dwellers.
He advised the women to take their advocacy on women inclusion in political affairs outside South East because women are given fair chance in this area.
Earlier the leader of the delegation of 100 Women Group, Mrs Ify Unachukwu said the group wants a fair chance for women in position sharing. (NAN)
