APC Women Leader Urges Women to Shun Planned Protest, Embrace Dialogue
By: Edirin Robinson
The National Chairperson of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Women Voice organization, (The Voice,) Hajiya Binta Baba has appealed to Nigerian Women to distance themselves from the planned protests against President Tinubu’s government over hardship.
Hajiya Binta made the appeal during an interaction with newsmen in Kaduna yesterday, saying that the planned protest to shut down the country for ten days is ill-timed and counterproductive.
According to her, the current rise in the cost of commodities is a result of some inherited economic and security challenges from the previous governments.
She therefore advised women to take certain measures that would reduce the hardship by being economical with their available resources and seek other means of commodities and their substitute products.
“I am sure Women in the country will not allow their sixty percent votes cast for the victory of President Ahmad Bola Tinubu to go in vain,” she said.
“I am confident that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu’s commitment, expertise, integrity, dedication, and focus will tackle the menace of insecurity, hardship, and economic meltdown facing the nation.”
She also urged Nigerian Youths to cancel the planned protest that would worsen the hardship in the country and embrace dialogue for the sake of Nigeria’s unity, prosperity, and development.
She also appealed to the political officeholders to emulate the sacrifice of the national assembly through the citizen’s initiatives and organize funds raised in the spirit of collective sacrifice towards rebuilding our national economy.
The organization also noted that “we have directed to all 36 states branches including Abuja, to conduct a campaign to our fellow women against the danger and to desist out from the unlawful protests.
