… Betta Edu, APC PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate Take First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu’s Grassroots Mobilisation to Communities, Households
A sea of heads on Saturday filled the 40,000-capacity Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, as the people pledged to mobilise three million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
President Bola Tinubu, First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and his wife, Senate President, Rivers State APC PCC Coordinator, H.E. Nyesom Wike, Governor Siminalayi Fubara and other dignitaries were warmly welcomed into the stadium amid resounding cheers from the excited crowd.
The massive turnout, characterised by colourful displays and enthusiastic chants, underscored the determination of supporters to strengthen the President’s grassroots support base in Rivers State and boost his re-election prospects.
The mobilisation received a major boost as Dr Betta Edu and members of the Women Mobilisation Directorate of the APC Presidential Campaign Council took the First Lady’s grassroots mobilisation initiative to women across Rivers State. The engagement brought together women from communities, markets and rural households across the state’s local government areas.
The team also embarked on outreach visits to hospitals in Port Harcourt as part of efforts to deepen engagement with women, children and vulnerable groups.
The initiative, anchored on President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and the grassroots mobilisation vision of First Lady Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, seeks to expand women’s political participation and build a formidable support network for the President’s re-election bid.
During the outreach, the Women Mobilisation Directorate urged traders, market women, youths, community leaders and other stakeholders to take the Renewed Hope message to the grassroots, stressing that effective mobilisation must go beyond rallies to direct engagement with voters in their homes, markets and communities.
The three-million-vote pledge highlights the resolve of Rivers State supporters to consolidate support for President Tinubu in the strategic South-South state.
With Dr Betta Edu, Co-Director of the APC PCC Women Mobilisation Directorate, spearheading medical outreach, grassroots mobilisation and market engagements under the vision of the First Lady, the campaign is intensifying its grassroots drive through community engagement, household mobilisation and voter sensitisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
