''In politics, women are more reliable than men.'' Obasanjo says

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who was presented with a Father of the Nation plaque when members of the Nigerian Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, paid him a courtesy visit at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, yesterday November 5. After receiving the Nation plaque and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said:

"One of the best journalists that ever served me was a woman, and that was the late Mrs Oluremi Oyo. In politics, women are more reliable than men. When a woman says she is with you, you can really take it that she is with you. But if a man tells you he is with you and you catch him in another meeting, he will tell you it is politics. It should not be so. When a politician’s words cannot be believed, then you are turning politics into another thing. A politician must be a man or woman of honour that believes in morality.”
