Women’s inroad to power is hazy due largely to a highly competitive political environment with an unpredictable political culture. In this light, this paper seeks to examine whether political culture undermine women’s quest for political office in Nigeria especially to the National Assembly. Nevertheless, extant literature established that scholars have written extensively on women’s inclusion in politics. The paper applied liberal theoretical explanations to the major variables of the study. Data was generated via documentary sources while content analysis was utilized for analytical discourse. The paper revealed that out of a total sum 469 seats in the National Assembly, the average percentage of elected female legislators between 2007 and 2023 is 5% and the average percentage of elected men for the same period stood at 93%, representing a worrisome disparity in the gender gap in political participation, inclusion and apathy amongst others. Despite campaign promises and assurances, our analysis revealed consistent women under-representation in the national assembly. Hence, the paper recommended that equity and fairness for women should be a top priority of the current administration. It also recommended that Civil society organizations need to rise and support or promote female representations for elective and appointive positions across government establishments.
