The APC branch in Nigeria’s Ondo State announces the mobilisation of women in support of Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Its women’s leader Iji Ayeola cites government measures for education, women’s empowerment and social welfare, reports Tribune Online.
The APC, Nigeria’s ruling party, in Ondo State has renewed its support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027. Its women’s leader, Princess Iji Ayeola, said at a meeting with women’s representatives in Akure that government policies on education, women’s empowerment and social welfare motivated this support, Tribune Online reports.
Princess Iji Ayeola notably cited the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), the public student loan fund, as a measure aimed at facilitating access to higher education and reducing expenses borne by students and their families. She also said women would be mobilised to support the president and participate in the development of their communities.
The meeting, organised around the theme “Ondo State Renewed Hope Agenda 2.0: From Reforms to Prosperity”, also included a women’s economic empowerment programme. Princess Iji Ayeola presented the initiative as part of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu’s policy promoting women’s economic and political participation.
The support from Ondo APC women comes after the state’s deputy governor called for support for Tinubu on 24 October 2026. The Ondo deputy governor’s appeal to the APC also concerned the president’s re-election in 2027.
