have threatened to protest nude on April 25 the woman governorship
candidate in the Taraba governorship race is intimidated.
Jean Onuh, Coordinator of Agape Sisters, issued the threat in Abuja on
Friday when she briefed newsmen on the Taraba run-off election.
Onuh said Sen. Aisha Alhassan represented the interest of Nigerian
women in the Taraba governorship poll holding on April 25.
She alleged that Alhassan was being intimidated by her opponents and
officials of the Independent Electoral commission (INEC).
"We would have remained quiet and very neutral but for our
disadvantaged background and the clamour to sustain the goals set for
Nigerian women in the post Beijing Conference."
"We dare warn of adverse consequences should the establishment known
as the Taraba cabal insist on intimidating a female contestant in the
race."
"We will mobilise hundreds of thousands of Nigerian women to protest
nude on April 25, if any official behaves funny,'' Onuh said.
She called on all involved in the Taraba poll to remain neutral and
urged registered voters, especially women, to ignore all kinds of
intimidation to come out and vote for Alhassan.
