The Director of Women Mobilisation APC, PCC Dr Betta Edu, has expressed confidence that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election.
Edu also commended the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, for convening the APC Women Stakeholders’ Mobilisation and Empowerment Campaign Roll-Out and supporting initiatives aimed at mobilising and empowering women across the country.
She spoke recently at the 2026 Pre-Inaugural Women’s Summit and Empowerment Programme held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja.
The programme, convened by the First Lady, was organised under the theme, “Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0: From Reforms to Prosperity- One Voice, One Movement, One Choice, One Mandate 2027.”
The event was attended by the wife of the Vice President, Hajia Nana Shettima; the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Abdulaziz Yari; Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma; former APC National Chairman, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje; members of the PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate and women stakeholders from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Support groups and CSO.
At the event, Edu led the gathering in a lively rendition of, “Winner! Oh, oh, oh! Winner! Jagaban! You don win o!” A clear message was passed. It’s President Tinubu till 2031!
The chant drew the First Lady, the wife of the Vice President, the wife of the Senate President, over 30 wives of state governors and other dignitaries to their feet as they joined the chorus and dance.
Edu subsequently declared that Tinubu would remain President of Nigeria until 2031.
She said APC women were already mobilising across the country to secure a strong mandate for Tinubu and his deputy, Kashim Shettima, in 2027.
According to her, the women’s mobilisation campaign is targeting 40 million votes, with structures being activated by the First Lady across the 36 states, the FCT, 774 local government areas, wards, communities and polling units.
Edu said the initiative was not limited to campaign rallies but was designed to create a grassroots network through which women leaders could engage communities and communicate the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration.
She said the mobilisation would also focus on opportunities for women in enterprise, agriculture, skills development, governance, and community development.
“We are moving into the 2027 electoral season with purpose, structure, and determination. Our target is 40 million women’s votes, and we are building the organisation required to achieve it. President Tinubu will win again,” Edu said.
She urged APC women to remain united and organised ahead of the election, declaring, “40 Million Women Votes! One Coordinated Mobilisation! One Voice, One Movement, One Mandate for 2027.”
The event also featured the empowerment of women beneficiaries with various support items to strengthen their livelihoods. The First Lady presented some of the items, including motorbikes, farm trucks, etc, to beneficiaries.
Senator Oluremi Tinubu also held a closed-door meeting with female APC candidates and other dignitaries on the sidelines of the programme.
