WOMEN across Ondo State have endorsed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for a second term in office, saying his administration’s economic reforms, infrastructure development and social intervention programmes have earned him another mandate in the 2027 presidential election.
Women drawn from the 18 local government areas of the state converged on Akure, the state capital, declared that President Tinubu has performed creditably enough to merit a second term in office and pledged to mobilise more than one million votes for Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima in next year’s general election.
Speaking at the endorsement programme, the Director of Women for Grassroots Movement for Tinubu (GMT) in the state, Mrs. Olamide Falana, said the movement had embarked on extensive grassroots mobilisation across the state because every election is local.
She said women remained the backbone of electioneering campaigns and had resolved to canvass support for the APC presidential ticket in every community across Ondo State.
According to her, ‘Women in Ondo State are happy with the successes recorded by President Tinubu. We want those achievements to continue and we are committed to working tirelessly to deliver massive votes for him in 2027.’
Falana disclosed that the organisation had mobilised women across the state’s 203 wards and established campaign structures in more than 1,500 polling units.
‘Our reach extends to the grassroots. We will ensure that every door is knocked on, every creek is reached and every market is visited until we secure overwhelming support for Mr. President,’ she said.
Also speaking, the Director-General of GMT in Ondo State, Saka Yusuf Ogunleye, said the endorsement was both an appreciation of President Tinubu’s performance over the past two years and a declaration of support for his re-election.
‘For us, one good turn deserves another. We believe President Tinubu should continue in office because of what he has achieved so far,’ he said.
