UMUAHIA— wife of Nigeria’s first Military Head of State, Mrs Victoria Aguiyi Ironsi has promised to lead Abia women to vote for Atiku/Obi of the PDP in next month’s presidential elections to ensure that they win the election, saying Atiku/Obi presidency would restore lost hope to Nigerians.

How 2019 Presidency divided Igbo leaders

Accordingly, Madam Ironsi has urged all Abia women to come out to massively vote for the Atiku/Obi presidency on February 16, 2019, saying that they are tested administrators with good hearts to change the people’s lives for the better.

She spoke yesterday, in Umuahia, at a Special Town Hall for Abia Women with the theme: “Let’s Talk” organised by Atiku Abubakar’s wife, Mrs. Jennifer Atiku Abubakar and wife of the Vice Presidential candidate, Margret Peter Obi.

She urged the large number of women drawn from the 17 Local Government Councils of the State to get their permanent voters card, PVCs, and use them wisely.

In her welcome remarks, wife of Abi State Governor, Deaconess Nkechi Ikpeazu commended the wives of the candidates for organising the town hall meeting and assured them of the votes of Abia women.

Addressing the women, Atiku’s wife urged them to change the bad situation in Nigeria by turning out in their large numbers with their PVCs and vote for Atiku/Obi ticket on February 16, 2019.

Jennifer Atiku reminded the women that when there is bad governance resulting in hunger and hardship, when their husbands can no longer pay for rents, they are always the people that bear the brunt as according to her, “it is the case today when some families hardly eat a meal”.

She said that the ruling party, APC, has failed in their promises, including provision of security and assured the women that her husband and Peter Obi would provide adequate security to enable them to freely pursue their legitimate businesses.

Atiku/Obi ticket, only hope for redeeming Nigeri’a glory —Igbo in Canada

Also yesterday, the Igbo Canadian Community Association, ICCA, comprising all Igbos resident in Canada has urged the electorate to vote massively for Alhaji Abubakar Atiku and Mr. Peter Obi as the only hope to redeem the nation’s glory, which had been battered severely under what they referred to as “unrepentant penchant for nepotism, unapologetic ethnocentrism and blatant display of sectionalism” as demonstrated by the Buhari-led APC government. The association made the call in its Letter of Endorsement for the Atiku/Obi PDP ticket signed by its President, Ugochukwu Okoro; chairman, Board of Trustees, Benjamin Chike Allison; PRO, Ahaoma Kanu; and Secretary, Board of Trustees, Chris Chike Nsoedo.

Revealing that their position was informed by “the state of the nation and the blurred horizons and increasing despair of ordinary Nigerians who are the worst affected”, they expressed their trust in Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to re-design the country for the benefit of all. In their letter, the association affirmed to the PDP flag-bearer: “We see in you a bridge-builder that will bring some measure of stability, calm and trust in governance and belief in our country which is going through a divisiveness that is as scary as it is gruesome”.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
