@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi There are perceptions that women are only capable of mobilizing their fellow women, which may be influenced by the choice of woman leader position in most political parties.
@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi Most political parties are built around the male, that dominance but in its structures and functions, places women to few non-prominent roles.
@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi This could also be influenced by a major factor of culture and traditions, that envelops our communities.
@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi These societal norms also find their way to how political parties are structured.

@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi Women matter, they matter greatly and in any sphere of life, from the family, community, or any institution.
@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi women are largely the best voting bloc in any election and the drive for mobilizing voters for any party is best anchored by women mobilizers.
@GEJFoundation @OSIWA1 @Yoonu117 @WRAPANG @NDI @womenfundng @Naijavote @oluremisonaiya @ElectHER_NG @ndiafrica @NDIWomen @mufuliatfijabi The statistics of female voters in any election largely determines the voter outcome of that election.
