APC women mobilise support for Tinubu in Jigawa

Dr Betta Edu, director of the APC Presidential Campaign Council's Women Mobilisation Directorate, has been on a mission to strengthen grassroots engagement in Jigawa State ahead of the 2027 general elections. The initiative, led by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, focuses on empowering women through economic and humanitarian outreach.

The team visited markets, hospitals, and communities, engaging with women traders, healthcare workers, and local stakeholders. During their visits, they encouraged women to participate in national development, improve their livelihoods, and support vulnerable groups. The outreach culminated in an empowerment programme attended by women beneficiaries and grassroots stakeholders.

The delegation's efforts come as part of a nationwide programme under the guidance of the First Lady, with the aim of securing two million votes for President Tinubu in Jigawa State.
