The All Progressives Congress (APC), will inaugurate its Women Presidential Campaign Team on Monday, at the President Villa, Abuja.
First Lady, Aisha Buhari will preside over the Women Wing of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Team.
Senator representing Lagos Central, Oluremi Tinubu and former First Lady of Borno State, Nana Shettima, will serve as chairman and co-Chairman respectively of the Women Wing.
The APC’s women’s campaign team, comprising over 1,200 women drawn from across the country, is expected to bolster the party’s gender-sensitive credentials as the APC is also the only major political party to have a female gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 election cycle.
Checks revealed that for the seamless promotion of its programmes, the women’s campaign team has been accorded a degree of autonomy to execute its activities at the national, zonal and state levels.
Meanwhile, efforts are also reportedly ongoing to rally the thousands of women-focused support groups affiliated with the APC for a nationwide mass mobilisation project.
