Wife of the president, Aisha Buhari, and
South East women yesterday said the unity of the country was not negotiable.

The women also resolved to mobilise
themselves to counter hate speeches and
tribal sentiments in the country.

While speaking at the 2017 Imo Women
Annual August Meeting in Owerri, Aisha
charged women to work towards conflict
resolution and peaceful co-existence in
various communities.

According to her, “This gathering is
a celebration of the resourcefulness of
womanhood.

It is important because at meetings like this, Igbo women gather to discuss developmental issues and peaceful coexistence at the community levels.”

Also speaking, wife of the Imo State
Governor, Nkechi Rochas Okorocha,
pointed out that from time immemorial,
women had been agents of positive
changes, growth and development.

She added that no society would do better without the contributions of women.

She said, “Women, now is the time for us all to answer this clarion call of coming
together to continue building and fortifying
bridges of friendship across the Niger and to believe in the mantra that there is strength in unity.”
