“Let there be justice. Let women be treated right wherever they are but I am very sorry to say this to a lot of women: I’ve worked with a lot of men, national and internationally, different caliber.
“When I hear women say I am sexually harassed, there is a lot of definition to that or we need to redefine what sexual harassment is,” Getso said.
“We have seen it in a lot of places in the world, not only in Nigeria, whereby women took advantage of them being women and raise such kind of accusation for other personal interest.
She urged women to refrain from such claims, if they are not true, explaining that, issues like that is bad for women involvement in politics general as some husbands might be afraid to let their wives into politics.
“If a lady sitting in the Senate, being in that position, is now crying of being sexually harassed by a man. I know a lot of men that are allowing their women to come into the political game will be a little bit scared,” she said.
