Women from different advocacy groups have stormed the constituency offices of two members of the House of Representatives from Abia <\/a>State, Obi Aguocha and Mascot Ikwechegh, to demand more seats for women in state and federal legislative houses.<\/p>\n The women were drawn from the League of Women Voters, International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), National Association of Muslim Women, People with Disabilities, among other groups.<\/p>\n The women, in large numbers, first took their demand to the Umuahia office of the member representing Ikwuano\/Umuahia Federal Constituency, Obi Aguocha, before moving to Aba to register their case at the office of Mascot Ikwechegh, who represents Aba North\/Aba South Federal Constituency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Speaking about the advocacy, the Chairperson of FIDA in Abia <\/a>State, Njideka Aniawonwa, expressed displeasure with the National Assembly for the delay in the passage of the Special Seats Bill for Women.<\/p>\n The women, who were holding green leaves, said they came to solicit the support of the Abia <\/a>House of Representatives members for the passage of the bill.<\/p>\n They said that if passed, the bill would enhance inclusivity in all tiers of government, arguing that women are underrepresented in affairs of governance despite their large numbers.<\/p>\n Receiving the message from the women in Aba, Mr. Sunny Amabo promised to convey their message to Mascot Ikwechegh.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dailypost.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/1774472737335.jpg\")
