The women in Abuja took to the streets to protest against Sen. Dino Melaye with different placards asking the Authorities to call him to other. The Lagos APC women leader, Kemi Nelson had announced the protest would take place in Abuja.
It could be recalled that the National President of Campaign For the Defence of Women Rights CDWR, Professor Taibat Majekodunmi, had earlier issued a statement that 75million naira was given to the women for the protest.
The Statement read,
We have it on good authority that N75 million has been
released by Senator Oluremi Tinubu to Kemi Nelson through Tinubu’s sister called
Funlola. The money is to organise a protest in Abuja on Wednesday against the
chairman, Senate Committee on the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Dino Melaye,
with 1,000 protesters from Lagos.
The protesters have booked for 300 rooms in some in hotels
in Abuja. Why did she not organise a protest against the hardship of Nigerian
women and widows. As we speak, Alade market in Ogba area of Lagos has been
destroyed and all the women rendered shopless. Oluremi Tinubu did not organise
protest about that.
Against the provisions of the constitution of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Kemi Nelson doubles at the State APC Women leader
in Lagos and also the zonal women leader of APC in the South West. This will
show her greediness and why the Tinubu dynasty has taken over Lagos.
Women were killed in Kano and Abuja and Mrs. Tinubu is the
chairman, Senate Committee on Women Affairs. She did not organise protest over
these killings. Mrs. Tinubu has not protested against the skyrocketed price of
tomatoes in the market. In the same vein, kerosene is now over N200 per litre
and she didn’t organised any protest to that effect.
Instead, she has taken advantage of the prevailing poverty
in the land to hire hungry women in the land to partake in an unproductive
protest against Dino Melaye. Women like Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Hajiya Gambosa
Sawaba, Sarah Jubril, fought for woman race without attacking any man. Oluremi
Tinubu should emulate the likes of Margaret Thatcher, Indira Ghandhi, Benazir
Bhutto and our own dear Dora Akunyili.
You can imagine what N75 million will do in the lives of
widows and hungry Nigerian women. We dare Mrs. Tinubu to go ahead with her
planned N75 million protest in Abuja. We will also mobilise Nigerian women
against this ostentatious display of wealth while the average Nigerian women
wallow in abject poverty.
