Former Minister of Environment and Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, Amina Mohammed has dropped a shocker.

In conversation with Mo Ibrahim, she revealed that; “Nigeria will have a female president in 2023, Insha Allah. Look, all of my life has been as a public servant and as one that serves, so that is not a problem for me.”

“But let me be truthful here, I have always thought that I am appointable and not electable. I think the political system that we have in our country, I believe in democracy, but I think the model for us, where we are is an incredibly difficult environment to say you would come to office through the will of the people.”

“I think the manipulation of democracy is a very serious issue in our countries. We have a population, as I said, has a level of literacy that can be manipulated, that is not right.”

“I think the fact that we got president Buhari in office this time was somewhat of a miracle, really, it is not easy to do it straight and narrow.”

“I think this is a work in progress, democracy in my country is a work in progress, it is incredibly difficult, and that is why I believe that I’d make a really good campaign manager for the next woman president”.

“We need to start from today to get a woman in power in 2023,” stating that Nigeria deserves a woman, “deserves a leader that can take a hundred and eighty million people to where they should be. There’s no glass ceiling in the Nigerian political space, instead of that “there is a concrete one”.
