The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has urged female lawmakers in the 10th National Assembly not to lose their femininity.
Mrs Tinubu made this charge on Wednesday in Abuja at a meeting with the lawmakers from various political parties where she also enjoined them to collaborate and be disposed to learning.
A three-time Senator, her advice came to light via a statement her Special Adviser on Media, Busola Kukoyi released.
It reads partly, “The joy here is that you made it. Now you have to sustain it. Men will be men. I believe that women don’t have to be men to sustain what they have.
“God created us as women; we shouldn’t lose our feminity. And that’s what we should use to get what we want. When I give this advice, it is not to put you down but to really help.
“Men have the ego to be the leaders. I have seen colleagues of mine and how they got by, honouring men to get what they want. But when you say you want to fight, a man will match you to fight. And they don’t see gender. I am married to a politician of high…how do I describe my husband? I have seen some of it.”
