Lady With The Midas Touch
The distinguished Senator Uche Ekwunife, fondly referred to as the lady with the Midas touch, senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District was a vision in dazzling white as she stepped into Casabianca on a consultative visit to brainstorm on her ongoing political project. As a gubernatorial aspirant under the People’s Democratic Party, we talked on a broad range of issues but her passion about women empowerment is infectious. Infact, she got me thinking over her novel idea and perspective with regards to the Ministry of Women Affairs. She is of the opinion that as a result of the complex issues that surround this Ministry, it is time for a paradigm shift, and that a male should be given the opportunity to head the Ministry.
She maintains that, while women commissioners have done quite well so far in superintending over the Ministry,a male perspective to promoting the social, economic and political empowerment and participation of women, as well as in addressing Children’s issues would inject a new vitality to initiating policy guidelines to drive the Ministry and introduce novel dimensions hitherto unexplored .This really got me thinking! I have never imagined a man as commissioner for Women Affairs, but It might be a refreshing change…who knows? Nothing ventured, Nothing gained! Our beloved State is blessed with dynamic political aspirants across parties willing to inject new ideas to the scheme of things. They are no longer prepared to settle for the ‘business as usual’ approach. Anambra MUST be better.
