Esther Nkem, presidential candidate of the National Rescue Movement (NRM), has asserted that women are fully capable of governing Nigeria. Nkem called for increased inclusion of women in political leadership during the signing of the party’s Sexual Exploitation, Abuse, and Harassment policy, organized alongside the Nigerian Women Trust Fund and Heinrich Böll Stiftung in Abuja.
She praised the NRM for fostering women's participation in politics, stating that the party aims to encourage more women to seek elective roles rather than simply campaigning for and voting for male candidates. Nkem emphasized that the NRM is altering the narrative by offering more opportunities for women to actively engage in the political process, beyond merely campaigning and voting for men.
She described her decision to join the party as a pivotal moment in her political career, crediting the party's support for women's inclusion for boosting her confidence.
