The female candidate for governor of Edo 2024, Dr. Loretta Oduware Ogboro-Okor, has pushed for women’s participation in partisan politics.
Loretta bemoaned that many Nigerian women were at the back door during election season. Loretta is running for the state’s top post on the Labour Party ticket.
The candidate asserts that it is time for women to assume leadership roles in politics.
Oduware Ogboro-Okor stated this shortly after her public declaration of intention to contest for the Edo 2024 governorship election on Monday at the LP secretariat in Benin.
“A lot of women are always at the back door, it is time we took our place in the political space; we have to be at the table, so that we can shake it.
“We thank all our fathers who are standing with us to bring light to the state, we are happy that our fathers are ready to support us,” she said.
