Former presidential candidate, Peter Obi has stated that gender influences corruption.

According to him, women are not as corrupt as men.

He made the assertion while speaking on the Honest Bunch Podcast, that because women are family-oriented, they are more determined to see society improve.

He said when he was governor of Anambra state, he appointed women in strategic positions.

In his words:

“Women are less corrupt. They are not as corrupt as men. And because they have families, they are more determined to see things work.

“When I was governor, my Chief of Staff and commissioners for Education and Planning were all women.”
