Thousands of women in Rivers State, under the National APC Christian Leaders Forum of Nigeria (NACLFON), staged a rally in Port Harcourt to demonstrate their support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election and other APC candidates in the 2027 general elections. The march, which started from Market Junction along the Aba/Port Harcourt Express Road, moved through major streets in the city before terminating at the APC state secretariat, Aba Road, Port Harcourt.

Addressing newsmen at the party secretariat, Mrs. Rebecca Odoh, leader of the women wing of NACLFON, stated that the women were committed to ensuring Tinubu's re-election to enable him to continue his work of transforming the country. She said the group has coordinators in all units and wards in the state, and with continuous mobilization, they aim to achieve fifty votes per unit for all APC candidates.
