Politician and women's rights advocate, Mary Idele.

Politician and women’s rights advocate, Mary Idele, has pledged to spearhead an effective grassroots mobilisation of Nigerian women for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election, following her appointment as Secretary of the Women Mobilisation Directorate of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council.

Idele, in a statement issued on Monday while reacting to the appointment, thanked Tinubu for the confidence reposed in her, describing the assignment as both a responsibility and an opportunity to contribute to the President’s re-election effort.

She pledged to bring her experience in grassroots mobilisation, women empowerment and organisational coordination to bear on the new responsibility, with emphasis on building a broad-based network capable of connecting with women across the country.

According to her, the task ahead requires more than political structures at the national level, insisting that sustained engagement with women at the community and grassroots levels would be critical to the success of the campaign.
