First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has donated cars to women leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in five states controlled by the opposition.
Oluremi announced the donation on Wednesday during the
inauguration of the Tinubu Torchbearers (TTB), a pro-Tinubu support group, at
the State House banquet hall in Abuja.
The beneficiaries are APC women leaders in Abia, Anambra,
Bauchi, Osun and Oyo states.
The first lady said the vehicles would be delivered before
the end of the week and would belong to the beneficiaries personally — rather
than the party.
“To all our women leaders in states where we do not have APC
governors but have committed party members, your vehicles will be ready before
the end of the week,” Oluremi said.
“The vehicles are your personal vehicles. You are not giving
them to the party. Register them in your names and use them for the service of
the party and your communities.”
She also called on APC governors to support women leaders in
their states by providing vehicles and other forms of assistance.
Oluremi said empowering women remains central to the APC’s
vision of inclusive governance, noting that women play a key role in grassroots
mobilisation and party building.
The first lady also described the APC as a model of
democratic engagement, saying the party has demonstrated that politics can be
practised without bitterness.
“I urge our governors to buy vehicles for their women
leaders. We are not playing politics like before. We are politicians, and
people should see the value in us,” she added.
She noted the conduct of the party’s recent primaries as
evidence of the APC’s commitment to internal democracy and peaceful resolution
of disagreements.
Oluremi urged members of the Tinubu Torchbearers to promote
the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and communicate government policies
responsibly ahead of the 2027 elections.
Mary Alile-Idele, APC national women leader, called on women
across the country to intensify grassroots mobilisation in support of the
president’s agenda.
Alile-Idele said the Tinubu torchbearers had established
structures in all 774 local government areas of the country to promote
government programmes and citizen participation.
She also commended the administration’s reforms and the
first lady’s Renewed Hope Initiative, saying the programmes have benefited
women, youths, persons living with disabilities and other vulnerable groups
through empowerment and social intervention schemes.
