The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has urged wives of state
governors in the country to emulate the peace efforts of Dame Patience
Jonathan Mama Peace. The group in a communiqué issued after its
National Convention which held in Port Harcourt the Rivers state
capital said if all the wives of the governors in the various states

women participation in politics highlighted the need for Nigerian
politicians to support female participation in politics. It decried
the situation whereby female politicians in the country were witch
hunted by their male counterparts. ‘’of particular interest to our
organization is the witch-hunt against the Minister of Petroleum
Dizeani Allison Madueke by members of the House of Representatives’’
the communiqué added.
The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation also said it has endorsed
Mrs. Ngozi Juliet Olejeme the Chairperson of the National Insurance
Trust Fund for the 2015 governorship election in Delta State. It said
its decision to support her for governorship position come 2015 is due
to the fact that she has all the qualities needed to govern the state
known as the Big Heart state.

across all the Wards and Local Governments in the state to ensure that
Delta records the first female governor in the state and the Niger
Delta region.
