The All Progressives Congress (APC) will inaugurate the APC Women Presidential Campaign Team on Monday to begin its campaigns.
Aisha Buhari, the first lady, was last week named as the chief patron of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Team’s women’s wing.
The wives of the vice presidential candidate, Nana Shettima, and the presidential candidate, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, will serve as chairman and co-chairman, respectively. Tinubu is a three-term senator from Lagos Central.

The official inauguration of the members of the Tinubu/Shettima Women Presidential Campaign Team’s various committees will take place at the Presidential Villa, according to the organizing committee.
Sources within the party said the women’s campaign team will enjoy a degree of autonomy and organize its own programmes, and that there would be activities at the national, zonal, and state levels.
“Efforts are also reportedly ongoing to rally the thousands of women-focused support groups affiliated with the APC for a nationwide mass mobilization project,” a party source said.
The announcement of the women’s campaign team has drawn positive reactions from across the country.

The APC’s women’s campaign team, comprising over 1,200 women drawn from across the country, further bolsters the party’s gender-sensitive credentials as the APC is also the only major political party to have a female gubernatorial candidate in the 2023 election cycle.
