UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed while speaking at the Mo Ibrahim governance weekend in Abidjan, has revealed that a woman will replace President Buhari in 2023.
The former Minister of Environment and UN Deputy Secretary-General who was asked when Nigeria will have a female president, said in response that by 2023, a woman will replace President Buhari. She replied by saying: “2023, Insha Allah”.
When asked if she would be running, she said: “Look, all of my life has been as a public servant and as one that serves, so that is not a problem for me.
“But let me be truthful here, I have always thought that I am appointable and not electable. I think the political system that we have in our country, I believe in democracy, but I think the model for us, where we are is an incredibly difficult environment to say you would come to office through the will of the people.
“I think the manipulation of democracy is a very serious issue in our countries. We have a population, as I said, has a level of literacy that can be manipulated, that is not right.
It is a nice dream but will our greedy men give women the chance to rule Nigeria?
