To many, it is a late entry
\ninto the presidential race 2015, afterall, the two big wigs have been named\u00a0 so shy the late arrival?
\nWell, the news is that a woman has eventually emerged to clinch the presidential ticket for 2015 general elections that is just some weeks away from now.
\nProf. Remi Shonaiya has decided few days ago to run for the presidency under the platform of Kowa Party, believing that an ordinary Nigerian can also rule Nigeria.
\nHer desire to run for the presidency may have been adjudged a waste of resources, time and effort as some critics see her as one who can not make any headway, hence a woman with ball, that shoots for the moon, worst still, an ambitious woman.
\nFor whatever interpretation anybody may give Prof. Remi\u2019s desire to go for the presidency followers of event see it as a springboard to her greatness. Although it may not be right to draw conclusion at this point as to who wins and who loses, even if anyone could see her eventual emergence as a mirage, the truth still remains that the mist is gradually being removed from the eyes of the Nigerian women.
\nShe may not have been popular\u00a0 in the political landscape of Nigeria, but she is initiated henceforth and who knows where her courage would take her to?
\nAt least, it is the dream of women\u2019s democracy network; a global initiative, to increase, women\u2019s political participation, leadership role in civic and political life and election to public offices.
\nThat a woman considers herself fit to vie for the most exalted political position in the country, is a remarkable democrative wave that was once unthinkable.<\/p>\n
