The female state lawmakers also sought the President ’ s veto pronouncing that of every three senatorial positions in the state, one should be ceded to a woman. They equally demanded that of the nine members of the House of Representatives , at least three should be women.
However, President Buhari , while responding , jokingly told the women that their demand meant a threat to the office of Vice President , Yemi Osinbajo, who was not present at the visit. He said : “ It is a pity that the Vice President is not here , but I am sure the Secretary to the Government of the Federation will brief him that his position is threatened. ”
The President , while noting the support extended to him by women during the four different times he had contested for the office of President , recalled with appreciation how even women in labour queued up to vote for him . He asked the delegation to take the message to their colleagues to extend the same support to enable him actualise his second term ambition in 2019.
On their request to make a pronouncement ceding a number of seats for women in the Senate and House of Representatives respectively , the President simply told them that he was not “ as powerful as you think . ”
President Buhari explained that he lacked the powers to make such pronouncement and that the request could only be made by a military Head- of - State , adding he is now “ a civilian who wears agbada . ”“ I am not all that powerful that when I talk it becomes a decree .
GUYS, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
