2027: APC Women mobilise for Tinubu, targets 40 million votes
The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council Women Mobilisation Directorate has said it is targeting 40 million votes from women for President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking with journalists on Saturday ahead of the APC Presidential Campaign Council Women Stakeholders’ Summit scheduled for Monday in Abuja, Director of the Women Mobilisation Directorate, Dr Betta Edu, said APC women were intensifying grassroots mobilisation efforts to secure the targeted 40 million votes.
Edu described the summit as an important platform for strengthening the party’s women mobilisation structure nationwide, while commending the First Lady for convening the meeting.
She said the gathering would also provide an opportunity to empower hundreds of women and strengthen grassroots structures.
“When we put our strength together and unite behind our President and his wife, victory is certain,” she said.
Edu also commended state governors and their wives for supporting the participation of women stakeholders, noting that many delegates had already arrived in Abuja.
She stressed that the summit was taking place alongside ongoing grassroots mobilisation across the country.
The summit, convened by First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is expected to bring together women stakeholders from across the country as the APC prepares for the formal commencement of its 2027 presidential campaign activities.
