2027: Remi Tinubu, VP’s wife urge women to vote Tinubu, APC candidates

On Monday, the First Lady of Nigeria, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and other prominent leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) urged women across the nation to support President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and the party's candidates in the upcoming 2027 elections. The event took place during the inauguration of the APC Presidential Women Campaign Council in Abuja.

The First Lady called upon women to support Tinubu's re-election and promote the party's candidates from the presidency to the governorship, National Assembly, and state assemblies. She also announced plans for six zonal mega rallies, culminating in a grand finale in Abuja, to mobilize women for the 2027 campaign.

The theme of this year's rally, "Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0: From Reforms to Prosperity," was not merely a slogan, but a reality. The economy is stabilizing, inflation is decreasing, foreign reserves are growing, and investors are returning to Nigeria. Additionally, farmers are receiving increased support, and university students can now access student loans through NELFUND.

The First Lady emphasized that the various women support groups had been consolidated into one structure under the APC Presidential Women Campaign Council. She urged women to vote for the APC, stating, "We are here to promote APC, nothing less. From the presidency to the governorship, National Assembly and state assemblies, I hope we all understand that."

Hajia Nana Shettima, the wife of the Vice President, urged women from the six geopolitical zones to return to their communities and mobilize support for the administration ahead of the 2027 elections. She highlighted the achievements of the Renewed Hope Initiative, which has provided scholarships, empowered women, and assisted elderly people and persons with disabilities across the 36 states.

Olufolake AbdulRazaq, the wife of the Kwara State Governor and Chairperson of the Governors' Spouses Forum, also spoke at the event. She expressed her happiness at being present and emphasized the impact of the Renewed Hope Initiative on women, children, and men across Nigeria. She assured that APC women were prepared to mobilize support for the party ahead of the 2027 elections and pledged their readiness to vote for all APC candidates.
