Ahead of the 2027 elections, the Asiwaju Mandate Group (AMG) has inaugurated its women wing in Ondo State.
The inauguration, held at the AMG secretariat in Akure, had in attendance key leaders of the group and women from across the state.
In his remarks, the Director General of AMG, Asiwaju Muyiwa Asagunla, described the development as a strategic step towards mobilising women across all groups, without discrimination, for the continued success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the actualisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda, especially towards the re-election of the president in 2027.
Asagunla explained that the group, under the leadership of the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, is committed to ensuring grassroots mobilisation and giving voice to women, youths, professionals, artisans, and all categories of people who believe in good governance and progress.
