Following the recent dissolution of Kano State executives of the National Council For Women Societies (NCWS) by the National President, Laraba Shoda, Kano women have called on the national body to review the dissolution order and give a chance for the planned election to hold as scheduled.
Speaking to our correspondent in Kano shortly after the issuance of the dissolution, members from all the 44 local government areas described the action as surprising because the states executives under the leadership of Zainab Ali Musa are trying their best in discharging their duties.
Malama Rahinatu Aliyu from Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area said that, ” the dissolution news came to us as a surprise because the national headquarters of the NCWS did not follow appropriate channels in their action as a non-government organisation, and we are benefiting from their initiative. Therefore, we are solidly behind our Excos”.
Similarly, Hajiya Asabe Mai Nasara from Gaya Local Government Area lamented that it is not in order just to dissolve elected executive officers without due consultation.
She advised the national president to cancel the dissolution and follow consensus that can be acceptable to every side without hurting anybody.
In this regard, all those who had an interview with New NIgerian, said that NCWS under Hajiya Zainab Ali Musa is working selflessly towards progress of women at both rural and urban settlements, and called on the national president to change it’s decision for the interest of Kano women.
Our correspondent tried to hear from the Kano State President, Zainab Ali Musa but all efforts proved abortive, but a source close to her on condition of anonymity, said that, ” NCWS is planning an election in Kano State and all the necessary preparations have been concluded to ensure hitch-free polls in order to enthrone credible leaders that would lead the council with backing from all angles.
