More than 4,000 All Progressives Congress (APC), women from Imo State have taken to the streets to protest the suspension of the state governor, Rochas Okorocha from the party.
The women led by the state party Woman Leader, Theresa Ohanuha, insisted that the suspension be reversed immediately or they would be compelled to institute legal action against the party.
Some of the women protesters who also spoke with journalists noted that the suspension would plunge the party into more crisis, and therefore called on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene.
Ohanuha said: “We feel aggrieved because of the injustice meted on our leader, Owelle Rochas Anayo Okorocha. We demand that APC the National Working Committee should revisit it and resist Oshiomhole’s confusion which he has been visiting on the party across the country. He should resign because he is not worthy to be a leader of our party.
“We have plans of making sure that APC which Okorocha brought in Imo State remains strong. We are going to resist attempts to destroy APC in Imo.”
The aggrieved women also warned that “we may be forced to go to court to challenge this injustice. We are not going to relent. We are going all out to make sure that this suspension is reversed.”
