WIPF disclaims Comfort Ibrahim over alleged misrepresentation
The Women In Politics Forum (WIPF) has issued a disclaimer on Comfort Ibrahim over what it called misrepresentation and unauthorized involvement in a counter protest in Adamawa State.
A statement signed by the President of WIPF Ebere Ifendu also directed Comfort Ibrahim to immediately issue a national apology to the forum or have her day in court.
“It has come to our attention that on Thursday August 1st 2024, a group of people in Yola and Comfort Ibrahim of Adamawa state, were found making a false representation and staging a counter protest in the name of Women In Politics Forum and has appropriated its logo for personal activities in Adamawa State.
“Let it be known that Women In Politics Forum is unaware of this protest and is not associated with the protest in any way. All persons and parties involved are unknown to Women In Politics Forum and do not have authority to represent the organization in any manner. WIPF is thus, by this notice, informing the general public, and all stakeholders that it has not authorized any groups or persons to use its logo, and other paraphernalia in any activities, and anywhere.
” Women In Politics Forum continues to be a non-partisan Forum for Women which recognizes the marginalization of Women in Politics, decision-making and the importance of unity, regardless of Party affiliation, to give a voice to women in Leadership.
“We hereby issue a warning to Comfort Ibrahim and all persons making a misrepresentation of Women In Politics Forum to desist; withdraw every publication and communication; and issue a national apology within the next 24 hours. Failure to do so and Women In Politics Forum will institute legal actions against guilty persons.
“Let this also serve as a notice to any person(s) who wish to toll this part in the future. Women In Politics Forum remains a civil society organization championing the cause of Nigerian women in politics and amplifying their voices with the overarching objective of increasing the number of women in politics in Nigeria through capacity building, mentoring, and networking,” the statement said.
