Women in politics must tell their own stories

Why are so many qualified women being overlooked in politics? In the lead-up to the 2027 elections, it’s time for women to take control of their narratives. You can’t expect to be seen if your story isn’t being told.

This isn’t just about media appearances; it’s about ensuring your ideas and accomplishments are heard loud and clear. Make your vision accessible and let voters know exactly who you are and what you stand for.

Don’t wait for opportunities to find you. Be proactive, tell your story, and make it easy for people to connect with your leadership potential. Nigeria’s political future needs the voices and contributions of its women.

The media also has a crucial role to play in amplifying the voices of qualified female candidates. It’s a shared responsibility to ensure visibility and give groundbreaking ideas the platform they deserve.
