Speaking on Truth Media, Blyden praised Jagaban’s leadership and integrity, noting that he publicly cautioned his supporters against using gender-based or sexually explicit language to attack any woman. “Jagaban is a wonderful person,” she said, adding that his actions demonstrate respect for women within the political space.

She described Jagaban as an asset to the APC, explaining that his stance on protecting women in politics was among the reasons she invited him for a personal discussion. “For Jagaban’s strength of character to stand in a public space and defend women, he will always be someone I admire for that,” Blyden stated.
