Okechukwu, who is also House Committee Chairman on Basic Education, made this known he received a group, Anambra  100 Women Lobby Group and 50-50 Women Action Group of Women Aide Collective (WACOL) in Awka.

“Women should stop crying out that men were violating or abusing them. Men actually do not wish political ills on women who have ventured into political affairs.

“The women fail to use their numerical strength to support their fellow women for reasons best known to them.

“Women make rules in their meetings regarding how their burial rites, widowhood, girl child conduct should be it is not the men.

“They put in unfriendly rules starting from the period of mourning, shaving of hair, what to wear, genital mutilation among others.

“They enforce these rules  too, so they should go back to the basis and change those archaic rules,”he said.

”The gender bill failed because women did not shine their eyes  well. The men who stepped down the bill are your brothers, husbands and relatives.

“Women should do their home work very well. Anambra legislators respect women and would act in manner that will benefit them,” he said.

He advised the women to take their advocacy on women inclusion in political affairs outside South East because women are given fair chance in this area.

“Expression of forms are given almost free just to encourage women in political participation and they are appointed into political offices so men are for women ” he said.

Earlier the leader of the delegation of 100 Women Group, Mrs Ify Unachukwu said the group wants a fair chance for women in position sharing.
