Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi Tinubu, has donated vehicles to women leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress in five opposition-controlled states.
She announced the gesture on Tuesday 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.
According to the First Lady, the vehicles will be delivered before the end of the week and will belong personally to the recipients rather than the party.
She urged the beneficiaries to register the vehicles in their names and use them to support party activities and community development.
Mrs. Tinubu also called on APC governors across the country to provide similar support to women leaders in their respective states, stressing the important role women play in grassroots mobilisation and political participation.
She said empowering women remains a key aspect of the APC’s vision for inclusive governance and praised the party’s commitment to internal democracy and peaceful conflict resolution.
The First Lady further encouraged members of the Tinubu Torchbearers to promote the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and communicate government policies responsibly ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the event, Mary Alile-Idele said the Tinubu Torchbearers had established structures across all 774 local government areas of the country to support government programmes and increase citizen participation.
She also commended the administration’s reforms and the Renewed Hope Initiative for providing empowerment and social intervention programmes for women, youths, persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups.
