The women also stated that the killings of women leaders, Salome Abuh in Kogi state in 2019, and the recent one, Victoria Chintex of Labour Party in Kaduna state, were bad signals that women have become victims of electoral violence.

The groups expressed their anger and displeasure in Abuja yesterday, after a two-day” 3rd Annual Conference to Demand For Accountability and Protection For Women Politicians 2023 and Beyond.”

One of their leaders, Ijeoma Udensi, the Executive Director, National Council for Women Society, said the killings of these women political leaders both in Kogi and Kaduna, were yet to be properly handled by all relevant security agencies, as the culprits have not been brought to books.
