Over 400 Nigerian women have accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders of deceiving them.
The women had been hired in a quest to thwart the planned nationwide #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.
It was gathered that some influential women leaders in APC sent a circular to several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Abuja, asking them to mobilise 50 women each to the Eagle’s Square, Abuja to be given 50kg bag of rice each as palliative.
However, after over 400 women were mobilised from various NGOs to Abuja, rather than bags of rice as promised them, they were given banners with “Say No To Protest” with different states, took pictures of them to claim they are against the planned nationwide protest against hardship, thereafter, they were left with neither rice nor transport fair as promised.
The circular sent to the NGOs on Friday and forwarded to SaharaReportere by a member of African Youth Union Commission, Esther Adelana, read, “URGENT: Good day distinguished young active citizens, please if you are in Abuja and can make your way to Eagle Square tomorrow Saturday 9am for palliative distribution by one of our partner accompanied with transport logistics. We need fifty young women.”
Lamenting the disappointment the women experienced in the hands of the APC leaders, Adelana said, “Believe this leadership at your own risk.
