The Nigerian women under the auspices of Nigerian Council of Women
Society (NCWS) today organized a mass rally in support of the President
Goodluck Jonathan towards the 2015 general election.
The city of Abuja was shut down as business activities were grounded
to a halt due the blockage of routes by security agencies. All roads
from Berger Junction, Central Business Area, and Secretariat were
blocked for the rally, which led to the traffic snarl in the city.
Reports say the rally was funded by the first lady and several
ministers as well as some state governors loyal to the president. To cap
the activities of the day an elaborate dinner party is slated for the
International Conference Centre tonight.
The event will also feature
performances by popular musical artistes including Onyeka Onwenu, Yinka
Ayefele, Iyanya, Sani Danja and several Nigerian comedians.
