Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Wednesday said that women in politics are more reliable than men.
Obasanjo made the disclosure while receiving the national executive and members of the Nigeria Association of Women Journalists, NAWOJ, at his Hilltop residence in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
The former President said, "One of the best journalists that ever served me was a woman, and that was the late Mrs Oluremi Oyo. In politics, women are more reliable than men. When a woman says she is with you, you can really take it that she is with you.
"But if a man tells you he is with you and you catch him in another meeting, he will tell you it is politics. It should not be so.
"When a politician’s words cannot be believed, then you are turning politics into another thing. A politician must be a man or woman of honour that believes in morality", Obasanjo added.
NAWOJ presented Obasanjo with a Father of the Nation award during the visit.
