Hajia Hadiza Adamu who was reported to be the leader of the group,spoke unbeahlf of her members,.
"We are the amalgamation of Northern women from all parts of the North, north-central, north-west and northeast. We as mothers are always at the receiving end of any war, insurrection, killings, and acts of terror.
she added that women were killed,some were raped and the children were rendered orphans,during the last civil war
"When our men were killed, we were raped and our children rendered orphans, we have nowhere to run to. Nigerian History has shown that women carry the heavy burden of war and acts of insurrections and terrorism. We have gone through it from 1967 to 1971, our men died and left us with the children to cater for out of nothing, other men that survived simply moved on, but we never moved on." "The aftermath of the war and the sufferings left lifetime scars in our hearts and on our bodies. It is for this reason that we come together today and say we don't want another war, another insurrection.
"We, therefore, unanimously call on President Muhammadu Buhari as the leader and father of the country and the leadership of the National Assembly, President of the Senate, Dr Ahmad Lawal, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt, Hon, Femi Gbajabiamila to immediately call for a referendum in the country, let people choose to live in peace in Nigeria or leave, any other group or nationality that wants to secede o, exercise their rights of self-determination like the southeast has been agitated for decades to be allowed to leave Nigeria peacefully, without resorting to a second civil war."
