The
International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), has berated the Senate
Leader, Ali Ndume for encouraging the Senate President and Nigerian men to
marry second wives.
-
FIDA insisted that the lawmaker's call was
disparaging and intended to demean Nigerian women.
-
The association in its statement said it was
outraged that Ndume gave the advice on the floor of the senate chambers.
-
Such utterances according to FIDA, portrayed
women as “sex objects”, whose clamour for gender equality could only be realized
by being married off by men.
CULLED FROM VANGUARD
