Fela Durotoye dragged for describing his running mate as ‘beautiful and delectable’ lady

Fela Durotoye who featured in the Presidential debate yesterday, has been dragged for describing his running mate as “beautiful and delectable” lady.

Fela Durotoye who was asked a question on gender inclusivity at the debate, described his running mate, Khadijah Abdullahi-Iya as a “beautiful and delectable” lady, a comment that as been described by many as misogynistic.

Nigerian rapper, M.I Abaga who first drew attention to the comment, wrote;

Just watched Fela Durotoye call his female vice presidential candidate “beautifulanddelectable” 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 ‘beautifulanddelectable’;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.
