The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has urged women to stop begging for political appointments saying they are manipulators who can manipulate men into signing what they wouldn’t want to sign.

Amaechi stated this while delivering his keynote address at the 2019 World Maritime Day celebration with the theme: “Empowering Women In The Maritime Community,” in Lagos on Thursday, September 26, 2019.

According to him, women should stop peddling gender inequality as the reason they don’t get appointments in Nigeria, rather he urged them to focus on building their competence and lifting one another.

He said that political appointments were not about gender but about the class one belongs, adding that women can only get appointments if they merit it.

Describing women as manipulators, Amaechi said they can manipulate men into signing what they (men) wouldn’t want to sign because women are more brilliant. He said:

“Women can only get appointments if they merit it. I don’t agree with you on the idea of gender because the struggle is not peculiar to Nigeria alone, it’s everywhere in the world. It’s about the class you belong because there are millions of women and men who are dying of hunger. Women get appointments because they merit the appointment. I have female friends who are very educated.

“And one is Amina Mohammed who was a Special Adviser to the former Secretary-General of the United Nations. It was when Mr President visited the United States and saw Amina, that he was impressed with her and made her a Minister.

“Amina got to where she is today because she has a vision and wouldn’t listen to distractions. Life is about courage.”

“So I will urge women in maritime to stop begging because it is their entitlement. Women are manipulators and can manipulate men to sign what they wouldn’t want to sign. Women are more brilliant.”

He added that women should take power by themselves in a radical manner, learn how to lift people out of poverty.
