“This is not a request, it is a demand. If these demands are ignored, we will reach out to the Sultan of Sokoto, the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), and other religious bodies to ensure that this injustice does not stand.
“If we allow this to happen, we are telling every Nigerian woman that her voice does not matter, her rights do not matter, and her dignity can be taken away at any moment.
“But we refuse to accept that. We will not be silent. We will not stand aside while injustice becomes the law of the land.
“How did we become a country where a woman can be erased simply for speaking the truth?
“How did we get to a point where justice depends on gender, and power is used to silence those who refuse to bow?
“What does this tell the young girls who dream of leadership? That no matter how hard they fight, the system will always find a way to break them?
“What does this tell Nigerians about democracy? That it is a privilege for the powerful, not a right for all?”
