Nigeria's First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has expressed confidence that President Bola Tinubu's administration has made significant progress, qualifying him for a second term ahead of the 2027 presidential election. Speaking at the inauguration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Women Campaign Council in Abuja, she highlighted the positive results of the president's bold reforms. The First Lady emphasized that the administration's achievements reflect actual national stabilization rather than mere political rhetoric.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu stressed that the country's economy is stabilizing, with inflation decreasing, foreign reserves growing, and investors returning to Nigeria. She also noted that farmers are receiving more support, and university students can now access interest-free loans through the NELFUND scheme. The First Lady described President Tinubu as a courageous leader willing to make difficult decisions in the nation's interest. She urged women delegates to spread the message of the administration's accomplishments to their communities.
The First Lady lauded supporters for believing in the Renewed Hope Agenda and committing to re-electing President Tinubu for a second term. She tasked the newly inaugurated council with mobilizing voters at the grassroots level for President Tinubu and all APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The First Lady emphasized that the council's goal is to promote APC and mobilize votes for the President. She outlined the campaign strategy, which includes six geopolitical zonal mega-rallies, state rallies, and a grand finale in Abuja.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu announced that she and the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima, will participate in zonal campaigns alongside other party leaders.

The First Lady expressed confidence that the campaign will yield positive results.
Chairman/CEO of the Nigerians in the Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa, who anchored the event, expressed confidence that Nigerians will recognize the President's good works and return him to office in 2027. The Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, assured the public that the campaign will showcase the administration's achievements.
