The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has initiated grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. According to Dr. Betta Edu, directorate of Women Mobilisation, women are leading the mobilisation efforts in 176,846 communities across Nigeria. They are holding daily meetings to strategize and ensure President Tinubu wins his second-term election convincingly.
Dr. Betta Edu is working under the leadership of the First Lady, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, alongside other members of the directorate. The mobilisation efforts involve activation of communities that house polling units. Robust engagement and planning are currently underway. The mobilisation is gaining momentum across the country, with women in various states participating in ward and community meetings.
In various states, including Jigawa, Kano, Zamfara, Kwara, Imo, Cross River, Benue, Plateau, Oyo, Ondo, Rivers, and Osun, women are excitedly engaging with one another. They are strategizing on ways to mobilize other women and men in their communities for President Tinubu's re-election. The women are reportedly convinced that sustained efforts will ensure an easy win for the President.
According to the women, some basic things have positively affected their lives and families under President Tinubu's administration. They cite the NELFUND program, which provides school fees and upkeep for their children, thereby reducing the financial burden on them. Other empowerment programs, especially by the wife of the President, Sen Oluremi Tinubu's initiative (Renewed Hope Initiatives), have made a significant difference in their lives and families.
The mobilisation efforts involve community and ward meetings, where women discuss strategies and express their commitment to President Tinubu's re-election. They believe that with unity and sustained energy, the elections will be delivered for the President with ease. The women are reportedly enthusiastic about the positive changes they have experienced and want to ensure that these are sustained.
President Tinubu's administration has implemented various initiatives aimed at improving the lives of Nigerians. The Renewed Hope Initiatives, led by Sen Oluremi Tinubu, have empowered many women and communities. The NELFUND program has also made education more accessible to many students. These initiatives are expected to play a significant role in the re-election campaign.
The APC Presidential Campaign Council is expected to build on the mobilisation efforts led by Dr. Betta Edu and other members of the directorate. The council will likely engage more stakeholders and communities in the coming weeks. President Tinubu's re-election campaign is expected to gain momentum in the coming months, with various stakeholders and communities rallying behind him.
