Gone are the days when men took the shine away from women in participatory politics.

These days, more and more women are showing more interests in elective offices. Two of these valiant folks are Modele Sarafa-Yusuf and Khairat Animashaun-Ajiboye; they are both eyeing the governorship seats in their respective states come 2023 general elections. While indubitable sports enthusiast who made her mark on the Nigeria Television Authority (NTA), Modele is keenly but silently scheming to occupy the Oke Mosan government house in ogun state, Khairat is also strategizing to take over the driver's seat at the Glass House in Alausa, the Centre of Excellence State, Lagos, all things being equal. But the parties they are still being kept under wraps for now. Feelers are rife in town that they might likely be flying the progressives' flags, when d coast gets clear for them. Hon. Khairat Animashaun, the convener of Khairat Animashaun Initiative (KAI), is a Surulerian and Lagos Westerner by tradition said her intention was to create a more sustainable social-political, economic, cultural and physical environment for all regardless of color or breed. Modele as Special Adviser on Information to Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun with her 16 years of journalism with the NTA Modele was not only a sports broadcaster, she was also a columnist for magazines, a guest writer for newspapers, a script writer for television shows and a producer of documentaries and programmes for radio and television: in fields as diverse as business, culinary, current affairs, crime, and education. She was Marketing Communications/Sponsorship Manager with Globacom at the inception of the company in 2003 and also part of ARISE TV channel at inception.
