2027: Rivers APC women endorse Tinubu for second term

Women leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State on Tuesday on Tuesday declared their support for President Bola Tinubu to serve a second term as President of Nigeria.

They also expressed their backing of the move by the National Assembly to dedicate special seats to women through the Special Seats for Women Bill, currently waiting for passage into law.

Speaking at the Rivers State APC Women Summit, in Port Harcourt, with the theme ‘Effectiveness of Women in Politics,’ the Rivers APC Women Leader, Hon. Amadi Darling, said the gathering was aimed at deepening women’s involvement in governance beyond election cycles.

She said, “This summit is about transformative leadership that touches every aspect of life,” stressing that women must continue to play active roles in shaping community development.

She added that empowering women strengthens economies and “invests in a future where every woman contributes meaningfully to the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

Darling thanked women leaders across the state for their dedication and praised Dr Maureen Tamuno, a former ambassador, for her “guidance and support to the women of Rivers State.”

The National Women Leader of the APC, Dr Mary Alile Idele, applauded the national leadership of the party for what she described as deliberate policies promoting women’s inclusion.

She also commended President Tinubu and First Lady Oluremi Tinubu for initiatives that have “shown that APC is a party where women are not only welcomed but valued and elevated.”

Idele said the progress of Nigerian women remained central to national development, adding that the women’s wing of the party “stands solidly behind the President today, tomorrow and into 2027.”

She urged women to become active participants rather than spectators in politics, insisting that their voices “matter in every ward, in every local government and in every constituency.”

The APC women leader also declared support for the Special Seats for Women Bill before the National Assembly, describing it as a matter of “justice, representation and the future of our daughters.”

Delivering the keynote address, former Commissioner Hon. Inime Aguma argued that no democracy can thrive when half its population is underrepresented.

Citing data from the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN Women, she noted that countries with higher levels of female political participation invest more in health, education, clean water and social protection.

Aguma lamented Nigeria’s low representation figures—four women in the Senate and 17 in the House of Representatives—saying the disparity was the result of structural barriers such as high campaign costs, violence and patriarchal party systems.

“When leadership pipelines exclude women, nations lose productivity and growth,” she stressed.

Rivers APC Chairman, Chief Tony C. Okocha, in a goodwill message, praised women for their resilience, recalling how female voters often remained at polling units “until results were counted and announced.”

He described the state chapter as gender-sensitive, noting that local government councils have female chairpersons and several women in legislative arms.

He urged party members to remain steadfast ahead of 2027, insisting there is “no vacancy in Aso Rock” and reiterating support for the President’s second-term bid.

The summit drew women from across the state and beyond, with speakers repeatedly emphasising unity, political mobilisation and women’s leadership as essential to Nigeria’s democratic progress.
