Governor of Ekiti State Ayodele Fayose, has warned Nigerian men to desist from poor treatment of women and urged husbands to take adequate care of their wives. Fayose, who described women as the mirrors through which the society sees their husbands, said any man found beating up his wife, should be medically examined to ascertain the state of his mental health.
He stated this in
Ado-Ekiti during an interactive session with primary school teachers and local
government workers. In a statement on Friday by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr
Idowu Adelusi, the governor also likened women to a bed, saying a man would lie
on the bed the way he had laid it.
The governor, who was
not pleased with the shoes worn by some female participants, ordered his aides
to bring shoes for them. The governor helped the lucky women to put on the
shoes. Fayose, who celebrated women in the state in an unprecedented manner
last March during the International Women’s Day, said women were a special
breed that must be protected from domestic violence and human trafficking.
“Those who beat up their
wives are only bringing curses on their heads. A woman is a reflection of her
husband and how her husband treats her. They are delicate and must be treated
as such. Our administration has been consistent in implementing policies and
programmes that are designed to make life better for them.
“Any good done to a woman is done to the whole
family. We must accord them their due respect,” he said.
