On April 3, 2025<\/strong>, the Executive Director of the Women Empowerment Education and Peace Building Initiative (WEPBI)<\/strong>, Ijeoma Joy Oguadimma<\/strong>, appeared on Signature TV<\/strong> to discuss the challenges faced by women in Nigerian politics<\/strong> and the urgent need for increased female participation ahead of the 2027 general elections<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the insightful conversation with host Charles<\/strong>, Oguadimma emphasized the importance of women supporting one another and actively engaging in political spaces<\/strong>. She noted that systemic barriers, intimidation, and harassment<\/strong> continue to discourage many women from contesting for leadership positions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs 2027 draws closer, this is a wake-up call<\/strong> for women to start preparing, campaigning, and ensuring they are not silenced or bullied out of the political space,\u201d she stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using Natasha Akpoti\u2019s<\/strong> political journey as a case study, she underscored the power of resilience and courage<\/strong> in leadership. She urged women to speak out, own their voices, and never back down<\/strong>, stressing that politics should not be a battlefield where women are marginalized but a space where diverse perspectives are valued.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oguadimma\u2019s advocacy aligns with WEPBI\u2019s commitment to empowering women and promoting gender inclusivity in governance<\/strong>. As Nigeria moves closer to the 2027 elections, she encourages women to break barriers, challenge the status quo, and step boldly into leadership roles<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
