Women leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have intensified grassroots mobilisation in Jigawa State to strengthen support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The mobilisation, led by Dr Betta Edu, Director of Women Mobilisation of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, involved visits to markets, hospitals and communities as part of efforts to promote the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s women empowerment initiatives.
Speaking during the outreach, Edu said the programme was designed to bring empowerment opportunities closer to women, encourage their participation in national development and improve their economic wellbeing.
She explained that the team engaged women traders on livelihood opportunities and economic empowerment while also visiting hospitals to interact with patients and appreciate healthcare workers.
The exercise also featured an empowerment programme attended by women beneficiaries and grassroots stakeholders, who pledged their support for President Tinubu, the Jigawa State Government and other APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
The wife of the Jigawa State Governor, Ambassador Hajiya Namadi, commended the First Lady and the mobilisation directorate for extending the initiative to communities across the state.
The directorate also announced plans to strengthen its mobilisation structures across Jigawa’s 27 local government areas, 287 political wards and 4,522 polling units.
The development reflects growing political engagement ahead of the 2027 elections, with women increasingly involved in grassroots mobilisation, community development and electoral participation.
