2027 AND THE OLUREMI TINUBU FACTOR

The First Lady is committed to the reelection of President Tinubu, writes OLAOLU JACKSON ALOWONLE Ahead of the 2027 general elections, one figure whose influence is becoming increasingly difficult to

Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the role of First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in the campaign for her husband's re-election has become increasingly significant. Known as the "Oluremi Tinubu factor," she has emerged as a prominent political figure through her Renewed Hope Initiative and active involvement in community engagement and empowerment programmes.

Her initiatives, which include engaging mostly women, older citizens, and persons with disabilities, demonstrate her commitment to social intervention alongside political mobilisation. Through her various programmes, such as the inauguration of the APC Presidential Women Campaign Council, six zonal mega rallies, and provision of business grants and empowerment items, Senator Oluremi Tinubu has demonstrated her ability to unify support groups and coordinate mobilisation for the APC candidates.

Her message to women is clear: return to your communities, organise, engage voters, and translate political enthusiasm into electoral support. Her activities across the federation, from South-East states to the North Central region, illustrate her sustained effort to build a nationwide constituency around social intervention and political support, addressing issues that directly affect households such as food, education, healthcare, livelihoods, and the welfare of vulnerable citizens.

This makes her an influential figure that the APC presidential campaign council cannot afford to underestimate.
