Mega Rally: APC South-East women to mobilise Igbo support for Tinubu
The All Progressives Congress women in the South-East say they will hold a mega rally in Enugu on August 18 to mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.
The APC South-East’s women leader, Oby Ajir, announced this on Tuesday in Abuja at a news conference organised by the National Coordinating Committee of the South-East Women Mega Rally and Empowerment Programme.
Ms Ajir said the event would bring together women from Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo. According to her, the rally is also intended to mobilise support for the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.
She said the programme would also include an empowerment initiative for women, featuring grants and start-up support for traders, farmers and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as the distribution of skills acquisition equipment.
Ms Ajir added that participants would receive political leadership training aimed at encouraging greater involvement of women in elective and party positions.
Uche Ekwunife, a former senator representing Anambra Central senatorial district, said the rally would provide an opportunity for APC supporters in the zone to express support for Mr Tinubu and publicise what she described as his administration’s achievements in the South-East.
Ginika Florence-Tor, principal liaison officer to APC’s deputy national Chairman (South-East), said women from the five South-East states were expected to participate in the programme.
Princess Akubundu, the national organising secretary of the Tinubu Torch Bearers Group, said the organisers expected the rally to mobilise support for APC candidates in the 2027 elections.
The organisers said the event would combine political mobilisation with an empowerment programme targeted at women across different sectors of the economy.
