Abayomi Mighty salutes and solidarizes with women globally in celebration of International Women’s Day on the theme: “Accelerate Action,”. A tag he says underscores the urgency in advancing gender equality and women’s rights, especially in the face of potential setbacks in established rights amid changing political climates. He emphasized the significance of this year’s theme, stating the urgency for swift and decisive measures to ensure women’s full participation in all societal facets.
Abayomi spotlights Senator Natasha Akpoti as a symbol and point of reference to the celebration of this year’s International Women’s Day. He says Senator Natasha symbolizes resilience and determination, also adding that her unwavering commitment to justice and her impactful contributions to Nigerian society serve as an inspiration to countless women.
Abayomi passionately urged women to eschew passive roles and actively engage in the socio-political processes of their nations. He encouraged women to contest elective positions, asserting that their perspectives and leadership are indispensable for holistic national development.
He continued by admonishing the society to recognize women as equal partners in progress. Abayomi echoed the sentiments of the Beijing Declaration, which asserts that “women’s empowerment and their full participation on the basis of equality in all spheres of society… are fundamental for the achievement of equality, development, and peace.” He added that no nation can truly thrive without harnessing the potential and contributions of its women.
Looking ahead to the 2027 presidential elections in Nigeria, Abayomi pledged that under his administration, women would be accorded equal privileges and opportunities.
