Groups threaten to protest nude if Taraba woman candidate is intimidated

She said: “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.

Two Non-governmental Organisations, Ladies of Grace and Agape Sisters, have threatened to protest nude on April 25 if the woman governorship candidate in the Taraba State governorship race is intimidated.

Jean Onuh, the Coordinator of Agape Sisters, issued the threat in Abuja on Friday when she briefed newsmen on the Taraba State run-off election.

Onuh said Senator Aisha Alhassan of the All Progressives Congress represented the interest of Nigerian women in the Taraba State governorship run-off holding on April 25.

She alleged that Alhassan was being intimidated by her opponents and officials of the Independent National Electoral commission.

She said: “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 called on all involved in the Taraba State poll to remain neutral and urged registered voters, especially women, to ignore all kinds of intimidation to come out and vote for Alhassan.
