Herdsmen menace: Southern women threaten to boycott presidential poll
WORRIED by the terror being unleashed on innocent Nigerians, Southern women have vowed to boycott the 2019 presidential election should President Muhammadu Buhari fail to take a decisive step to tackle the rampaging herdsmen.
The women, under the aegis of Concerned Southern Women for Good Governance, accused President Buhari of handling the security challenges posed by the herdsmen with kid gloves.
Speaking to Vanguard yesterday, leader of the group, Patience Igho, said, “Women are a great economic force that a nation cannot ignore.
They are at the bottom of the domestic economic growth pyramid. “Our women in the South are the strength of our agricultural boost because they do the farming and also take the produce for processing and then for sale.
