The women, led by Nancy Nwankwo described the emergency rule as a politically motivated move aimed at undermining democracy.

The protesters condemned what they described as an unconstitutional imposition of military rule disguised as a state of emergency, calling it unjustified and unacceptable.

They further appealed to respected stakeholders to intervene and urge President Bola Tinubu to reverse what they termed a grave injustice.

The women, however, reaffirmed their commitment to peaceful resistance while stressing their stand in the defense of justice.
