Women’s Group Inaugurates Yobe Structure, Backs Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election Bid

The Women of Influence for Tinubu 2027 group has launched its Yobe state structure, vowing to galvanise support for President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid and foster greater female participation in politics. The inauguration ceremony took place in Damaturu, the state capital, on Sunday. National Convener of the organisation, Hauwa Farouk Ibrahim, stated that the group is committed to mobilising women, empowering emerging female leaders, and creating opportunities for them to participate actively in Nigeria’s democratic process.

The event featured a Women’s Leadership Summit aimed at strengthening women’s involvement in governance, leadership, and national development. The summit was organised under the theme, ‘Women as Partners in National Development’. The gathering attracted women leaders, political stakeholders, government representatives, and members of the organisation from across Yobe state. Hauwa Ibrahim emphasised that women have crucial roles to play in shaping the country’s political future and contributing to national development.

The group reaffirmed its support for Tinubu’s 2027 re-election bid, pledging to promote the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda through grassroots mobilisation and women-led political engagement. As part of its activities in the state, the delegation embarked on a tour of selected projects executed by the administration of Governor Mai Mala Buni. The projects inspected included the Yobe State International Cargo Airport and the newly constructed maternity complex, among other infrastructure and development initiatives.

The group commended Governor Buni for his administration’s investments in infrastructure and healthcare, particularly the development of the maternity complex. They noted that such projects are essential in improving healthcare delivery and the living conditions of residents. The organisation also expressed appreciation to the Secretary to the Yobe State Government and other government officials for their support and encouragement.

The inauguration forms part of the group’s nationwide expansion strategy to establish functional structures, strengthen its network of women leaders, and mobilise support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. The group’s mission extends beyond political mobilisation to creating a platform through which women can influence decisions, contribute to national development, and participate actively in shaping Nigeria’s future.

The Women of Influence for Tinubu 2027 group aims to create opportunities for women to participate in politics and governance. By establishing a strong presence in Yobe state, the group seeks to empower women to take on leadership roles and contribute to the country’s development. The group’s efforts are expected to have a positive impact on the lives of women and residents in Yobe state.

The successful inauguration of the Yobe state structure marks a significant milestone for the Women of Influence for Tinubu 2027 group. As the group continues to expand its reach across Nigeria, it is likely to play a key role in promoting women’s participation in politics and supporting the re-election bid of President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
