The Director of Women Mobilisation for the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dr. Betta Edu, has expressed optimism that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be re-elected in 2027.
Edu also praised the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for organising the APC Women Stakeholders’ Mobilisation and Empowerment Campaign Roll-Out and for championing programmes aimed at empowering women nationwide.
She spoke on Monday at the 2026 Pre-Inaugural Women’s Summit and Empowerment Programme held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, themed “Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0: From Reforms to Prosperity – One Voice, One Movement, One Choice, One Mandate 2027.”
The event had in attendance wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima; Director-General of the APC PCC, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma; former APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje; members of the PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate, women stakeholders from the 36 states and FCT, support groups and CSOs.
At the summit, Edu led participants in a spirited chant: “Winner! Oh, oh, oh! Winner! Jagaban! You don win o!” – declaring that President Tinubu will remain in office till 2031.
The chant got the First Lady, wife of the Vice President, wife of the Senate President, over 30 governors’ wives and other dignitaries on their feet as they joined in the song and dance.
Edu said APC women were already mobilising nationwide to deliver a decisive victory for Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in 2027.
She disclosed that the women’s mobilisation drive is targeting 40 million votes, with structures being activated by the First Lady across the 36 states, FCT, 774 LGAs, wards, communities and polling units.
According to her, the initiative goes beyond rallies, aiming to build a grassroots network for women leaders to engage communities and communicate the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration.
She noted that the campaign would also highlight opportunities for women in business, agriculture, skills acquisition, governance and community development.
“We are moving into the 2027 electoral season with purpose, structure, and determination. Our target is 40 million women’s votes, and we are building the organisation required to achieve it. President Tinubu will win again,” she stated.
She urged APC women to stay united and organised, declaring, “40 Million Women Votes! One Coordinated Mobilisation! One Voice, One Movement, One Mandate for 2027.”
The summit also featured empowerment of women beneficiaries with items such as motorbikes, farm trucks and other support tools to boost their livelihoods, presented by the First Lady.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu also held a closed-door meeting with female APC candidates and other dignitaries on the sidelines of the event.
