Market women in Edo State on Thursday, protested over alleged plan by President Bola Tinubu’s daughter, Folasade Tinubu to impose an Iyaloja on them.
The women who were seen in a video, speaking in their native language, vowed to restrict the move.
Speaking with newsmen, the president of market women association in the state, Blackky Ogiamien, said Tinubu’s daughter cannot dictate what will happen in Edo markets to them.
Ogiamien who spoke in pidgin English, said, “We’ve been in this association for over 50 years and we never see any challenge but barely a week now, we heard that Tinubu’s daughter is planning to come here to install an Iyaloja.
“For her Lagos State, I can’t go there to impose someone, so she can’t come here to dictate for us. Edo is not Lagos.
“I am in charge of market women in Edo state. We will not take what she is trying to do. Politics will come and go but we remain in the market.
“No one can go and meet Folasade Tinubu that he or she wanted to impose someone on Lagos, so she can’t do that also here. The Oba of Benin is our grandfather and any governor in power is our father.”
