“This has to stop. We believe we are in a democracy with laid down procedures and processes to address national concerns or agitation of some sort.
“Today, JMA the voice of northern women is calling on His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, and the leadership of the National Assembly to immediately consider to reconvene a national conference as a follow-up to the one held in 2014.
“The issue of the Nigerian state has been a subject of discourse for some time now, we feel the concerns can be channelled through the elected representatives of the National Assembly, to be thoroughly debated as required under a democratic dispensation or better still a referendum.”
