Women will drive Tinubu’s 2027 re-election – APC women leader

The National Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Mary Alile Idele, has pledged to mobilise women across the country in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 through the Tinubu Touchbearers (TTB) Movement.

Alile made the pledge on Tuesday during the commissioning of the Tinubu Touchbearers National Secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.

The National Secretariat was inaugurated by Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who was represented at the event by the Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Suleiman-Ibrahim.

Speaking at the event, Alile said the Tinubu Touchbearers initiative was established to promote the ideals, programmes and achievements of the Tinubu administration under the Renewed Hope Agenda across Nigeria’s 774 local government areas.

She emphasised the critical role of women in the nation’s electoral process, noting that they constitute a significant percentage of the voting population and remain key to determining electoral outcomes.

She said the initiative was designed to encourage women to take the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda to the grassroots and mobilise support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu.

Alile also disclosed that one of the flagship programmes to be coordinated from the secretariat would be weekly intercessory prayer sessions for Nigeria and the administration of President Tinubu.

According to her, “These prayer sessions will be led by ordained female ministers (OFM), Royal Sisters, prayer networks, and the Northern Muslim Women Assembly (NMWA).

“This spiritual engagement reflects our collective belief that while strategies and policies are important, divine guidance and support remain essential for national progress and success.”

The APC women leader also noted that the newly commissioned secretariat will serve as the operational headquarters of the movement and coordinate its activities across the country.

“The commissioning of this National Secretariat is therefore both symbolic and strategic. This Secretariat will serve as the operational hub of the Tinubu Touchbearers movement nationwide. It will coordinate, administer, monitor, and drive the activities of TTB across all levels of engagement,” she said.

Describing the Tinubu Touchbearers as a grassroots mobilisation platform, Alile said the movement was created to take the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda and the administration’s achievements directly to Nigerians at the grassroots.

“The Tinubu Touchbearers is fundamentally a grassroots mobilisation vehicle established to amplify, communicate and showcase the achievements of the Renewed Hope administration among ordinary Nigerians.

“We must continue to strengthen grassroots engagement. The people must see the light. They must hear the message.
They must understand the achievements. They must become active participants in the Renewed Hope journey. Most importantly, they must deliver overwhelming support for the vision of a better Nigeria,” she stated.

The APC women leader further unveiled plans to establish a Women Situation Room within the secretariat, describing it as a technology-driven platform designed to monitor and coordinate activities nationwide.

“Beyond campaign activities, the Women Situation Room will serve as a strategic election monitoring and coordination centre capable of tracking developments across Nigeria’s 176,846 polling units. Detailed information regarding this initiative will be formally forwarded to Your Excellency’s office for further consideration and engagement,” she said.

Alile also announced the introduction of the “Do Know & Benefit” Digital Wristband Initiative, a technology-driven platform aimed at improving citizens’ access to information on government programmes, policies and achievements.

She said the initiative would help bridge the information gap between government and citizens while enhancing awareness of opportunities available under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
