Nigerian women storm Abuja, beg Atiku to accept defeat

Nigerian women on Friday organised a two million woman rally in Abuja to appeal to Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in last Saturday’s election to concede defeat and congratulate President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The women, under the aegis of Two Million Woman Rally for Democracy in Nigeria, Peace and Stability, kick-started their match at the Unity Fountain down to Hilton Area before proceeding to the Force Headquarters, Eagle Square, and back to Unity Fountain.

They called on Atiku to emulate former President Goodluck Jonathan and congratulate Atiku on his victory.

Speaking during the rally, the convener, Mary Onuche, called on Atiku to save Nigeria from anarchy and embrace his brother.

Onuche also called on Buhari not to disappoint Nigerians who have overwhelmingly voted him for another term.
