Ekiti State women have been urged to mobilise and deliver 95 per cent of their votes for President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima in the 2027 general elections. First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, made the appeal as Dr Betta Edu, and other members of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) Women Mobilisation Directorate directorate commenced grassroots mobilisation.
The women visited markets to engage traders, reached out to patients in two hospitals, and supported women in small-scale businesses. They also mobilised stakeholders and grassroots supporters, encouraging women to participate actively in the electoral process.
The rally, held on Thursday at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, attracted Vice-President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, Director-General of the APC PCC, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, party leaders and thousands of supporters.
Edu urged Ekiti women to deliver 95 per cent of their votes for Tinubu and Shettima, as well as other APC candidates in the state. She commended Governor Oyebanji for his developmental efforts, expressing confidence that his achievements would strengthen the party’s electoral fortunes in 2027.
She also urged women to sustain grassroots mobilisation and ensure that the support being built across markets, communities, and wards translated into votes during the elections.
Other speakers at the rally called on APC members and supporters to remain united and committed to the party’s electoral objectives.
Mrs Tinubu’s appeal underscored the strategic role of women in the APC’s nationwide mobilisation campaign, with the Women Mobilisation Directorate expected to sustain ward-to-ward and community engagements.
