The First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, is expected to lead the All Progressives Congress (APC) North-West Women’s Mobilisation Rally and Empowerment Programme in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
The event is expected to attract women leaders, party stakeholders and supporters from the seven states of the North-West geopolitical zone, comprising Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, Jigawa and Zamfara.
The rally forms part of the APC’s political mobilisation activities ahead of the 2027 general elections, with the party seeking to strengthen its support base for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid and other candidates across the region.
During the programme, the First Lady is expected to inaugurate the distribution of empowerment materials to women and youth groups as part of efforts to support economic activities and improve livelihoods.
The items include tricycles, motorcycles, point-of-sale (POS) machines and kiosks, wheelchairs, cash assistance and wrappers.
Wives of governors from some states in the region have also arrived in Zamfara for the event.
Meanwhile, women drawn from the 14 local government areas of Zamfara State have converged on the venue ahead of the commencement of the programme.
The gathering is expected to bring together party leaders and women stakeholders from across the North-West to discuss political participation, grassroots mobilisation and empowerment initiatives.
