Ijaw women embark on solidary march for Buhari, Dokubo

Hundreds of women under the auspices of the Ijaw Youth Councvil (IYC) Women Wing embarked on a solidarity march on the streets of Abuja in a show of support and appreciation for President Muhammadu Buhari’s commitment to the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP).

The women, who embarked on the solidarity march last Thursday, also commended President Buhari for appointing Prof. Charles Dokubo as the Coordinator of PAP to deepen peace and security in the Niger Delta.

Leader of the women, Princess Belema Deborah Jaja, appealed to the President Buhari to increase budgetary allocation and funding of the PAP for sustainability.

They also called for the inclusion of more women in the programme, even as they cautioned politicians they accused of sponsoring false petitions against the Amnesty Office leadership to desist from destroying the good intentions of the Buhari administration.
