A self-proclaimed 'good governance advocate,' Shehu Gazali Sadiq, has sparked controversy by asserting that the majority of unintelligent voters in Nigeria are women. In a statement on November 28, he claimed this is due to women's financial dependency on men, asserting that men shield women from the consequences of poor political choices by providing financial support.
Sadiq controversially suggested that women follow politicians who offer monetary incentives, linking their political choices to financial dependence. The comments have drawn criticism for perpetuating gender stereotypes and reflecting a regressive perspective on women's political awareness.
