    "content": "For us to follow the law and abide by our Constitution, we need to pass this law. If we pass this law, men, leaders and the voters of this nation will be respected. I am not a scientist but I know this will be proven. If you analyze gene mutations, the X-chromosomes are gradually dominating the Y-chromosomes. What we should anticipate is, in about 20 years to come, we will have more women than men. Therefore, the gender that will matter as far as voting is concerned will be women, whether we like it or not. Right now, for the male Members of Parliament who are here, they purely depend on women. If women have voted for you in a constituency, how will you honour them? This is a law that will make men to honour the women who voted for them in the constituencies. This is not just a Bill, it is a historical Bill. It will make us show the world that we respect everybody. Let us be sincere. Since the inception of the leadership of this nation, how many women have taken leadership positions compared to men? For us to deal with that injustice, we have to take affirmative action and pass this Bill. I would like to encourage men, if you love your mother, wife, women who voted for you and those in power now, support this Bill. God will support you wherever you are."
