The women’s chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Enugu State has unanimously endorsed President Bola Tinubu as the party’s sole candidate for the 2027 presidential election.
The women described President Tinubu as a leader whose commitment to renewing the hope of Nigerians has endeared him to party members across the country.
The endorsement took place in Enugu during the 2025 APC Enugu Women Stakeholders’ Conference, held at the weekend.
Speaking at the event, the APC National Woman Leader, Dr. Mary Alile-Idele, who coordinated the endorsement process, described President Tinubu as a leader whose “unwavering commitment to renewing the hope of Nigerians has endeared him to party members across the country.”
In a goodwill message, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, urged the women to remain steadfast in their support for the APC-led administration. He said:
“President Tinubu has shown, through the Renewed Hope Agenda, that women are not on the margins but at the very centre of Nigeria’s transformation. This is why we must continue to support his vision and work to ensure its success in 2027 and beyond.”
Also speaking at the occasion, Hon. Chimaobi Atu, House of Representatives member for Enugu North/Enugu South Federal Constituency, backed the endorsement. He said the APC-led government had already touched many lives in Enugu State and across Nigeria through the provision of critical infrastructure, roads, and empowerment programmes.
“This endorsement is not just about politics, but about consolidating what has already been started. 2027 will be a chance to deepen these gains,” Atu said.
The Enugu State APC Chairman, Hon. Ugochukwu Agballah, also noted that the state chapter had been repositioned to lead the resurgence of APC in Enugu, with strong support from Chief Nnaji.
The APC State Women Leader, Prof. Amaka Onu, reaffirmed the women’s commitment to taking a more active role in governance and leadership.
Other speakers took turns to hail the President, vowing that women would no longer accept being relegated in the party and national affairs.
