Seriously, Governor @elrufai and Governor @RealAARahman are not getting enough accolades from our female citizens…the inclusion of women in their administration will definitely motivates the Nigerian young girls to study in schools. #KwaraList— TallJohn🌍 (@JohnFanimokun) October 23, 2019
Women empowerment motivates & develop females by promoting the girl child education and participation in every sector of life.In Kwara, the nomination of 9 female commissioners by Gov @RealAARahman means a girl can dream, aspire to become the leader of tomorrow. #KwaraList https://t.co/oh7FakaJo1— [Matthew] (@tobbiematthew) October 23, 2019
There was a time in Kwara where it's almost a taboo for a woman to hold political office. A state Chief Judge was sacked by a governor for no offense other than being a woman. Gbemi Saraki contested for Governor in 2011, her gender was the tool to campaign against her.#KwaraList— El Commandante (@MrLekanAdigun) October 22, 2019
During 2011 gubernatorial election in Kwara, most people were hostile against a particular candidate just bcos she is a woman.
Today, the story is changing, thanks to @RealAARahman for considering more women in his cabinet than men.Don't stop educating the girl child#KwaraList— Adetola A. Kehinde (IGBOMINA) (@Optimistic_Ade) October 22, 2019
Sequel to the request made by the women groups during Governor @RealAARahman inauguration for women inclusive in governance, he has forwarded 16 names to the state assembly for screening, 56.2% for female while 43.8% is for male.Governor @RealAARahman se bebe#KwaraList— Y.A.N Lade (@YAN_Lade) October 22, 2019

The commissioners list forwarded by Gov @RealAARahman to @kwhanigeria is a welcome development. For the first time, a state Governor is assembling young technocrats, dynamic and brilliant cabinet members to deliver the #Iseya agenda. #KwaraList https://t.co/tPkxBKHOh3— Barrister Abdulgafar Ayilara (@AyinlaAyilara19) October 23, 2019
