• Says Nigeria moving from reform phase to prosperity
• Distributes empowerment items to over 2,000 Zamfara women
First Lady of Nigeria, Oluremi Tinubu has called on APC members and supporters across the North-West to close ranks and intensify mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
She urged Nigerians, particularly women, to use their votes to protect and consolidate the gains of the Tinubu administration by renewing their mandate in the forthcoming general elections.
The First Lady made the appeal on Friday at the North-West APC Women Stakeholders’ Mobilisation Mega Rally and Empowerment Programme in Gusau, Zamfara State, where she called for greater unity and cooperation among party members to secure victory for the ruling party.
She assured supporters that the country was moving beyond the difficult phase of economic reforms into an era of prosperity and improved living conditions.
Mrs. Tinubu urged women across the region to remain committed to the APC and play active roles in securing the President’s return to office, stressing the need to sustain the progress recorded under his administration.
She also commiserated with the people of the North-West over the persistent security challenges confronting the region, reaffirming President Tinubu’s commitment to tackling insecurity across the country.
The rally, which attracted APC stakeholders, women groups, party supporters and political leaders from the seven North-West states, also featured the distribution of empowerment items to more than 2,000 beneficiaries drawn from different parts of Zamfara State.
The items included grinding machines, deep freezers, kiosks and hair dryers, among other tools intended to support beneficiaries’ livelihoods and economic activities.
In their separate remarks, Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal; Minister of State for Defence, Dr Bello Matawalle; APC National Women Leader, Dr Alile Idele; and Director-General of the Tinubu/Kashim Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari, commended the First Lady for her support for women’s empowerment and development.
They also stressed the need for party unity, increased political participation by women and collective mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
