How APC Leaders Deceived Over 400 Women With Promise Of Palliative Rice, Took Pictures Of Them In Abuja With 'Say No To Protest' Banners

Over 400 Nigerian women have been thrown into lamentation by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders in a quest to thwart the planned nationwide #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest.

SaharaReportere gathered that some influential women leaders in APC sent a circular to several Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Abuja, asking them to mobilise 50 women each to the Eagle's Square, Abuja to be given 50kg bag of rice each as palliative.

However, after over 400 women were mobilised from various NGOs to Abuja, rather than bags of rice as promised them, they were given banners with “Say No To Protest” with different states, took pictures of them to claim they are against the planned nationwide protest against hardship, thereafter, they were left with neither rice nor transport fair as promised.

The circular sent to the NGOs on Friday and forwarded to SaharaReportere by a member of African Youth Union Commission, Esther Adelana, read, “URGENT: Good day distinguished young active citizens, please if you are in Abuja and can make your way to Eagle Square tomorrow Saturday 9am for palliative distribution by one of our partner accompanied with transport logistics. We need fifty young women.”

Lamenting the disappointment the women experienced in the hands of the APC leaders, Adelana said, “Believe this leadership at your own risk.

“Few days ago, some influential women leaders in APC sent a message to NGOs, to send 50 delegates each to Eagle square to get 50 kg of rice and some palliative for women.

“This message circulated fast in the NGO community. Almost all NGOs in Abuja got the above circular. We mobilised women to Eagle Square with the hope that they would get something as promised.

“We even sent students from the University of Abuja, only for them to get there and banners imprinted with "SAY NO TO PROTEST" were placed in their hands.

“They were told to take pictures with the banners. The women thought it was an empowerment program but the influential women from APC took pictures with them and left.

“The poor women didn't get anything - not a cup of rice or even transportation to go back to their various destinations.

“They were used by APC to project their propaganda and were dumped afterwards. The women came back cursing and wailing in their various groups.

“The women came back wailing and cursing that APC women leaders deceived them. They were even threatened with DSS.

“I'm disappointed that Leadership News is projecting lies without ing the information.”

This makes me the words of a very wise man. He once told me that there will come a time when many people will gather together to read what I have to say only to discover that I have nothing to say. Today is that day. Prophecy fulfilled.

Say no to fraud.

These people haven't learnt anything. Majority are still suffering the consequences of the votes they sold last year yet these ones are selling their conscience with mere promise of rice

No wonder yarimo and helinues have not posted anything this morning after PROTESTING against PROTEST all through yesterday 🙄

Hunger na your mate?

Nigerians don see things since Apc was formed

Is that "yarimo"?

Saharareporter with their garbage news

APC have so much weaponized poverty in the country, so it makes easy for the women to be deceived into doing things against their collective wishes

Government of liars, scammers, fraudsters, drug barons, certificate forgers and bullion vans gavvy crooks.This is what they have reduced the suffering downtrodden masses into.

The weaponization of poverty and then use same to wreck their lives some more. Meanwhile, the Stockholm syndrome can't just be expunge from some obstinate humanity.

Toh

Promises na wetin dem dey use sweet mouth take catch us.

We go still chop rice one day, just dey patient. Na who no believe dey go suffer for the matter.

Nigerians and free stuff...they will fall for anything as long as you promise them "something"

When a thief is your president
.

Nothing Yarimo and helinus no go see for this APC hand

Good for them. Tinubu do dem home and away

Everything about this APC/Thïefnubu Govt is built on falsehood and deception.

Gbajue president.
But this too low for zero, Kai APC!

What a ridiculous narrative!

These protesters clearly don’t understand that governance is not about handouts but about laying the groundwork for a sustainable future.

Tinubu is working hard to ensure that Nigeria moves forward, not backward. Those expecting instant rice delivery should wake up to the reality of nation-building.

APC is focused on creating lasting solutions, not just temporary fixes. If you want rice, go to the market!

E don cast

Normally

I told all of us in this platform that this government is a deceiver but I was called all sorts of name; yet, the government is yet to prove me wrong.

Another rubbish trashy propaganda.
Any idiot can say anything. Show us prove of your accusations. Rumors and unverified accusations are now considered as news.
Complete nonsense.

They are just witnessing what the main protesters have been crying about 😂 😂 😂

Ntoor!!

Those clowns are known as 'USEFUL IDIOTS' in a propaganda warfare.

Omoh..

Everything about APC is fake and lies

Na God go punish una for trying to sabotage the protest

una no go die better even if them give una the rice

hmmm
