?A major literary and political milestone is set to unfold in the nation’s capital as the Chief Executive Officer of ROTV24 officially releases a groundbreaking new publication titled "Nigerian Women in Politics: The Missing Piece on the Chessboard."
The highly anticipated book launch will take place on Saturday, 21st November, at the Maryam Babangida National Centre for Women Development (Women Centre) in Abuja, bringing together key political leaders, women advocates, media executives, and civil society champions for an impactful public presentation.
Using the strategic metaphor of a chessboard, the author dissects the historical struggles, courage, and significant contributions of Nigerian women across generations of governance.
Despite accounting for nearly half of the country's voting population, female political representation in elective and appointive positions remains disproportionately low.
The book chronicles the resilience of female trailblazers who have continually broken through deep-seated socio-cultural stereotypes, institutional biases, and political intimidation to demand their rightful seat at the decision-making table.
?Moving beyond diagnosing systemic inequalities, the book offers pragmatic, strategic roadmaps for female political aspirants to navigate Nigeria's complex political terrain without succumbing to the oppressive godfatherism syndrome.
A central highlight of the work focuses on dismantling traditional patronage structures by detailing actionable models for candidate independence.
These include leveraging grassroots crowdfunding, tapping into transparent digital mobilization platforms, building diaspora financial networks, and creating cross-party female coalitions to secure campaign resources without political subjugation.
?"Nigerian women are not passive onlookers in governance; they are the strategic missing piece required to balance and elevate the nation's political chessboard.
True democratic progress cannot be achieved while half the population remains sidelined by godfatherism and financial exclusions.
?The public presentation at the Women Centre in Abuja is designed to serve as both an interactive symposium and a national rallying call for gender-inclusive governance.
The event will feature insightful keynote addresses, critical reviews by prominent political analysts, and strategic discussions on how female politicians can safeguard their campaigns against political violence and systemic exclusion.
Attendance is open to political aspirants, media professionals, researchers, and all advocates committed to transforming Nigeria's political landscape.
