A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief P.C. Ajayi Obe, has said women in the country should share the larger portion of the blame arising from failure of politicians in the country.
For the perceived non-performance of the menfolk in the polity, the legal luminary lamented that their wives had shirked in their responsibilities as women.
She said these at the inauguration of the women wing of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Oyo State Chapter, at the Word Communication Ministries (WOCOM), in Ibadan.
Speaking on the theme, entitled, "The role of women in the anticipated national transformation," she noted that women had a major role to play in the transformation of the country.
If all women performed their roles as expected, she added, there would be great reduction in the number of armed robbers and corrupt officials.
At the ceremony which was attended by the National Chairman, PFN, Women Wing, Pastor Helen Oritsejafor; state Chairman of PFN, Apostle Sunday Popoola; Mrs. Omowumi Popoola (Chairman, Women Wing); South-West Co-ordinator, Pastor Francis Wale Oke; Christ Life Ministries, Pastor Mrs. V.T Oke, and women from other churches, women were enjoined to be more responsible to their husbands.
Pastor Oritsejafor said, "The women wing has scored another big goal against the adversary, today. Since April 13, 2006, when we were graciously inaugurated nationally in Lagos, the wind had never stopped blowing for the progress of the PFN women wing, across the land."
She commended the state chapter and charged them to be more active in their various callings, adding that to whom much is given much is expected.
According to her: "Every woman born into this world is actually talented for impact. No story of any man's success is fully written, without the complementing talent of his woman. It follows therefore, that no story of any nation's development could be fully written without the contributions of women to national growth."
