APC Women in Rivers Set Goal for Tinubu Votes in 2027

A group of supporters in Rivers State has promised to gather three million votes for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

This pledge was made in a statement released to PUNCH Online on Sunday. The announcement came during a political gathering at the 40,000-capacity Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt. Thousands of supporters showed up to express their backing for the President.

Tinubu, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, Senate President, Rivers State APC Presidential Campaign Council Coordinator Nyesom Wike, Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other important figures were welcomed to the stadium with cheers from the crowd.

The event featured lively displays and chants of support for the Tinubu administration. Participants pledged to boost the President’s political influence across Rivers State.

One major highlight was the participation of Dr Betta Edu and members of the APC Presidential Campaign Council Women Mobilisation Directorate. They took the First Lady’s grassroots mobilization initiative to various communities in the state.

The team engaged women from different communities, markets, and rural households across local government areas. They encouraged increased participation in political and community activities.

As part of their outreach, the delegation visited hospitals in Port Harcourt. They interacted with women, children, and vulnerable groups through medical and humanitarian activities.

The Women Mobilisation Directorate stated that the initiative aims to go beyond stadium rallies. They want to reach households, markets, and communities directly.

The mobilization focuses on President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and the First Lady’s vision for grassroots engagement. It also aims to enhance women’s involvement in the political process.

During their activities, traders, market women, youths, and community leaders were motivated to take an active role in community mobilization and voter awareness ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Dr Betta Edu, Co-Director of the APC PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate, is leading the outreach. This includes medical interventions, market engagements, and grassroots mobilization, reflecting the First Lady’s vision.

The pledge for three million votes shows the commitment of Rivers State supporters to rally for President Tinubu as the 2027 presidential election approaches.
