Daughter of National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, on Thursday expressed her frustration over what she called the non-inclusion of market women in the government of President Muhammadu Buhari

Folasade, who is the Iyaloja General of Nigeria, led a protest of market women to the National Secretariat of the APC in Abuja.

She said the APC-led government has abandoned them since May29, 2015, when the present administration officially took over Aso Rock.

“I am here this afternoon to represent market women and men of Nigeria. There have been agitations, not even agitation of allegation, the people believed that the government of the day is not carrying them along as it should be, that they worked round the clock for the party during the electioneering campaign, but after the inauguration most of us are not carried along.

“We only hear on the news that the First Lady is doing a programme this and that and we just see it on the news and they wouldn’t allow me be, all the complain come to my table morning and night and I say okay, enough is enough,” the leader of market women in Nigeria said.

“We even heard that another FCT woman leader that is organising another market association and named it Association of Organised Market People in Abuja and most of these people are PDP, they were nowhere to be found when we are working for the party day and night, so now our people are not happy because they need to benefit from where they believe they have the right to and all we need, all we are crying for is for the government to give them sense of belonging and carrying them along properly,” she lamented.
