The umbrella body of northern women organisations, the Jam’iyyar Matan Arewa, on Wednesday, urged the President, Major Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and the National Assembly, to hold a follow-up to the 2014 National Conference held by ex-president Goodluck Jonathan administration.
They also demanded a referendum to discuss the corporate co-existence of the Nigerian nation.
National President of the organisation, Rabi Saulawa said this at press briefings in Kaduna on Wednesday.
She said, “Today, we have to affirm that enough is enough. At home in the north, we are not spared; in some particular regions/geo-political zones where we feel we would be welcome, we are targeted.

While arguing against the payment of ransom to bandits, she noted that she would prefer to die in the hands of her abductors if that would usher in peace in the country.
She said, “For as long as you continue to pay ransom, it is like you are adding kerosene to fire. you are giving bandits, kidnappers money for ammunition to continue to haunt you. We should not pay ransom. This is my personal opinion.
“I have said it before and I will say it again: if I am kidnapped, don’t pay any ransom. Rather, pray for me that if it is death, I go in a good way and if I am going to be released that I am not violated.”
