AHEAD of the 2015 general election, two serving female senators, yesterday, declared their intentions to contest governorship elections in their states.

Senators Helen Esuene, PDP, Akwa Ibom South and Aisha Jummai Alhassan, PDP, Taraba North, while talking to Senate Press Corps at the National Assembly, said they decided to join the race in their states to complement the efforts men have been making over the years to  give good governance to the citizens of the states.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that two other female Senators, Chris Anyanwu, Imo East and Nkechi Nwogu, Abia Central are also said to be nursing governorship ambition to occupy the plum positions though they have not made open the intention.

The senators said, “We are not saying we are better than men that have been occupying these positions over the years in the two states and in fact, across the 36 states of the federation, but we are saying as responsible women, we shall be less distracted in office like any of the men that has served in that capacity.
