According to the former journalist at Accra-based Radio Gold, claims that women have to sleep their way to get to the top in politics are mere perceptions which should be ignored.

“You don’t have to look at the difficulties [in politics] because the difficulties are there, some you deal with it.
“You get into a certain situation that everybody thinks that once a woman decides to get into politics that means she is sleeping with a lot of men around town or she is ready to hit one big target that will push her to the top but it shouldn’t tickle you at all,” Obuobia said in an interview with Berla Mundi on #RythmzLive One-on-One Wednesday.

She argued that women have been able to achieve success in their respective fields due to hard work.
“A lot of hard work that is exactly what has pushed some of us up there and not because we jumped from one man to the other. It doesn’t get to me at all, it urges me on.
“I think it is a wrong perception that people have about women in politics and I’m praying that we will get into a certain time in this country where people can simply clear their minds of that and understand that people have really worked hard to get where they are,” Obuobia Darko-Opoku added.
