Just watched Fela Durotoye call his female vice presidential candidate “beautiful and delectable” during a presidential debate. These men can not help themselves. When your women’s rights agenda is zilch and you pick a female running mate as a PR stunt, this is the result. Same person who wants to use alumni as a driver for university funding. The ghetto.

So @feladurotoye just called his running mate ‘beautiful and delectable’;VERY INAPPROPRIATE. Obviously the only thing she has to offer is her beauty and sex appeal and right on the subject of the marginalization of the girl-child/ women in the country.
