We'll Not Allow You Take Our Votes With "Salt And Maggi" - Kaduna Women





Ahead of the 2019 elections, a group of women activists in Kaduna State on Friday vowed to mobilise women in the area to resist attempts by politicians to induce them with cash and food condiments.



One of the women, Mrs Rhoda Giwa, made this known in an interview with newsmen on the sidelines of a three-day training for women on civic rights and how to actively participate in decision-making and politics.



The training was organised in Kaduna by an NGO, Empowering Women for Excellence Initiative (EWEI). Giwa, from Malali community in Kaduna North Local Government Area (LGA) of the state, added that women were no longer interested in selling their future to politicians in exchange for pittance.



According to her, the group will mobilise women to demand for projects that will better their lives and that of the entire community.
She said that women had become fed up with a situation where politicians would use cheap items to buy their votes during elections only to fail  them afterwards.


“We will mobilise all women not to accept salt and maggi or peanuts from any politician again. What we want are concrete projects that will better the lot of women and children in our communities and not insignificant things that will finish in a matter of days. This time around, all agreements will be documented and we will drag any politician to court if he or she fails to honour it. We will no longer allow ourselves to be used and dumped when elections are over” she added
