  "account": "Women in Nigeria have taken a strong stance to support President Bola Tinubu, as evidenced by their participation in the APC Women Stakeholders Mobilization and Empowerment Summit held on October 5th, 2026. The event, held in Abuja, was organized by the APC Presidential Campaign Council’s Women Mobilisation Directorate under the theme \"Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0: From Reforms to Prosperity.\" The summit aimed to rally grassroots support for the upcoming 2027 general elections, targeting 40 million votes for President Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima.\n\nAt the helm of the event was Nigeria's First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, who has consistently been an advocate for Nigerian women. She was joined by Dr. Betta Edu, former APC National Women Leader, and Minister of Women Affairs Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, both of whom demonstrated their commitment to gender empowerment, inclusion, equality, and women's rights. The presence of these influential women, along with the supportive men, showcased a united front for the cause.\n\nThe summit also marked the inauguration of the Women Directorate of The APC PCC and the consolidation of all women campaign groups under one umbrella. This move provided a platform for the Renewed Hope Initiative, a non-profit foundation led by Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to present its scorecard on various issues like economic empowerment, social investment & education, health & agriculture, and employment to Nigerian women. The event serves as a testament to the growing influence and engagement of women in the Nigerian political landscape, reaffirming their potential to shape the nation's future.",
