By Henry Ovie
Women from the North Central Geo-political home of the country has urged the Federal Government not to trample on the rights of citizens.
The women in a statement in Lafia said the lawsuit against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan was capable of sending wrong signals of political oppression of women in Nigeria.
“Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s rights are slowly extinguished. Her complaints, protests and appeals are now treated as seditious murmurings.”
They urged President Bola Tinubu to prevent the 10th Senate from being ill governed.
The zonal women advised President Tinubu to go to the root of the matter involving the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and the Senator representing Kogi Central, Chief Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan.
The statement issued by the Chairperson of North Central Women Front (NCWF), Mrs. Mary Adamu, described the recent case filed by the Federal Government against Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan as a desire for conquest and a bad way of maintaining or restoring stability, patriotism and morality among the people.
“The problem in the Senate cannot be resolved in this manner. It is in going to the root that you will find the solution of a number of problems of the 10th Senate which the leadership cannot settle.”
The statement counseled Tinubu not to yield to the fatal temptation of oppressing women in the country.
Particularly, the women urged Tinubu to apply human wisdom, follow public reason and act aright by asking the Attorney General and Minister of Justice to quickly withdraw the lawsuit from the court.
The statement emphasized sincere reconciliation and the question of morality.
The women praised Akpoti-Uduaghan for her honest heart.
The statement also underscored shameful methods in conflict resolution and the activities of fierce and brutal men in the country.
