Ádeeko said:

“This will be the first in a long while that women on their own will come together in their numbers to speak with one voice. We are coming to Abuja to demand that the status quo must be changed. This is the time for us to yield power to younger people, especially those who have given a good account of themselves in other places they’ve rendered service.”
