Peter stated, “The Renewed Hope agenda has promised to integrate women and youth into politics, and Stella perfectly embodies the essence of a capable young woman.”
“Incorporating Okotete into the ministerial list submitted to the Senate initially brought elation to Nigerian women. Confirming her as a minister will fortify her commitment to the well-being of Nigerian women.”

She speculated that these critics may be anxious about the potential of women outperforming them in office and spotlighting their shortcomings as men.
