Read Why Buhari Would Marginalise Women in His Govt The Senior Special Assistant on Political Matters to President Muhammadu Buhari, Mr. Gideon Samani today said the President did not include many women in his cabinet because he is very shy dealing with the opposite sex.

PDP described as a shameful irony and display of crass hypocrisy, the fact that a ruling party that prides itself as an anti-corruption crusader, would field candidates being held on corruption charges, saying such act has further exposed the insincerity of the APC.
