All is set for the All Progressives’ Congress Presidential Campaign Council Women Stakeholders’ Summit scheduled for Monday, October 5, 2026, in Abuja.
The summit, to be convened by the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is expected to bring together key women stakeholders from across the country as the APC prepares for the formal commencement of its 2027 presidential campaign activities.
Speaking with journalists on Saturday ahead of the event, the Director of the Women Mobilisation Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Betta Edu, said APC women were intensifying grassroots mobilisation with a target of 40 million women votes for President Bola Tinubu and Vice-President Kashim Shettima.
Edu described the summit as an important platform for strengthening the women’s mobilisation structure nationwide and commended the First Lady for convening the meeting.
According to her, the summit will also provide an opportunity to empower hundreds of women and further 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 at the summit, noting that many delegates had already arrived in Abuja.
She stressed, however, that the Abuja summit was taking place alongside ongoing grassroots mobilisation across the country.
“Most of the delegates from the states have already arrived in Abuja, and more are expected. But our community engagements and door-to-door mobilisation have continued across the country,” she said.
Edu said the directorate’s grassroots strategy remained focused on sustaining engagement with women and households across communities, with the mobilisation structure covering 176,846 communities nationwide.
“It is a 100-day sprint, and we will not relent until victory is achieved for President Tinubu. Our strength is in our numbers,” she said.
