The APC Women Mobilisation Directorate has set a target of 40 million women’s votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election.
The Director of Women Mobilisation of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Betta Edu, announced the target on Monday at the 2026 Pre-Inaugural Women’s Summit and Empowerment Programme in Abuja.
Edu also commended the First Lady, Sen. 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.
The programme, held at the Bola Ahmed Tinubu International Conference Centre, Abuja, 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; Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Sen. Abdulaziz Yari; Imo State Governor, Sen. Hope Uzodimma; and former APC National Chairman, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.
Members of the PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate, women stakeholders from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, support groups and CSOs also attended the programme.
At the event, Edu led participants in a lively rendition of, “Winner! Oh, oh, oh! Winner! Jagaban! You don win o!”
The chant drew the First Lady, the wife of the Vice President, the wife of the Senate President, more than 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 had already begun mobilisation across the country to secure a strong mandate for Tinubu and his deputy, Kashim Shettima, in the 2027 election.
Edu said the women’s mobilisation campaign was 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.
She 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.
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 and farm trucks, to beneficiaries.
Oluremi Tinubu also held a closed-door meeting with female APC candidates and other dignitaries on the sidelines of the programme.
