Both the wife of the vice-presidential candidate, Nana Shettima, and the wife of the presidential candidate, Oluremi Tinubu, a three-term senator from Lagos Central and a former first lady of Lagos State, would act as chairman and co-chairman of the campaign, respectively.

The announcement of the women’s campaign team has drawn positive reactions from across the country, with many Nigerians wondering why other parties are not making similar efforts regarding gender mainstreaming in their respective presidential campaigns.

Others have noted that 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.

Sources within the party say the women’s team will enjoy a degree of autonomy and organise its own programmes, and that there will 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 mobilisation project, party officials said.
