2027: Remi Tinubu Rallies North-West Women For President’s Re-Election

The First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has called on women and political stakeholders across the North-West to unite and intensify grassroots mobilisation in support of President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

She made the appeal on Friday at the North-West Women’s Stakeholders’ Mobilisation and Mega Rally in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, attended by women leaders, political office holders, party stakeholders and supporters from the seven states in the region.

The rally was organised by the All Progressives Congress (APC) to strengthen its grassroots support and mobilise women ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Addressing the gathering, the First Lady thanked the Zamfara State Government and residents for the reception accorded her and other dignitaries.

She also sympathised with families and communities affected by banditry and other security challenges in Zamfara and the wider North-West region, acknowledging the impact of insecurity, particularly on women and children.

Tinubu assured the people that their concerns remained important to the Federal Government and called for collective efforts to address the challenges confronting the region.

She expressed confidence that sustained government interventions would improve security, create economic opportunities and promote social development.

“Nigeria is working and will continue to work for the betterment of all Nigerians, and a brighter future for our grandchildren,” she said.

The First Lady urged women to remain actively involved in politics, stressing their role in grassroots mobilisation, community development and national progress.

Also speaking, the wife of the Vice President, Nana Kashim Shettima, called on women and residents of Zamfara and other North-West states to support President Tinubu and APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.

She described women as an important force in determining electoral outcomes and urged them to take the message of unity, political participation and support for the administration to their communities.

Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, welcomed the First Lady and other dignitaries, describing the rally as an opportunity to strengthen political engagement and consolidate support for the APC across the region.

He also highlighted the importance of women in grassroots mobilisation and urged them to remain united, organised and committed to the party’s objectives ahead of the 2027 elections.

The Director-General of the Presidential Campaign, Abdu’aziz Abubakar, called for more intensive grassroots mobilisation, saying the success of a political campaign depended on effective coordination, broad participation and the commitment of party supporters.

He urged women leaders and other stakeholders to engage voters at ward, community and local government levels to secure support for APC candidates.

The Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle, also called for unity among party members, particularly women, whom he described as a critical constituency in the mobilisation and electoral process.

He urged APC supporters across Zamfara and the North-West to strengthen their grassroots structures and work together towards the party’s success in 2027.

A major highlight of the rally was the distribution of empowerment materials to women and youths in the state. The initiative was aimed at supporting beneficiaries, improving livelihoods and promoting economic participation at the grassroots.
