A member of the House of Representatives, Akin Alabi who represents Egbeda/Ona-Ara Federal Constituency of Oyo State has accused the Nigeria Immigration Services of gender bias against the women that participated in Falz Bop Daddy’s challenge.
The video featured some women on NIS uniform, participating in the ‘Bop Daddy’ challenge.
Akin Alabi in a tweet, condemned the NIS position, described the threat of sanction as trampling on the rights of women.
“Disgraceful for Nigerian Immigration Service to query these women for this. In a world where we continue to fight for the rights of women, a national agency is trampling upon them. Would they have been queried if they were men? I will be supporting these women all through.”
Olusegun Olopode, while tweeting via @Segolopade described the comment as ”goof.”
“Honorable @akinalabi, considering the position you occupy as a lawmaker, you probably need a bit more of circumspection in the manner you rush to comment on almost every issue. You don’t have to voice an opinion on every topic, and sadly, most time you do, you end up goofing,” he said.
“Interference in a disciplinary matter of an agency set up by law and by lawmakers. Indiscipline everywhere. Everybody is undermining the law. The women have recourse to law-first under the rules they agreed to abide with & if dissatisfied, then the courts. Let them & you follow due process.”
