Empowerment: Tinubu’s Wife Aids 500 Market Women in Cross River

In a bid to support Nigerian women, particularly market traders, the First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, has embarked on an empowerment initiative in Cross River. According to a report by Tribune Online, the empowerment was executed through the Women Mobilisation Directorate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council. The initiative saw 500 market women in Cross River receive support. While the specifics of the aid are yet to be disclosed, the move is expected to boost the economic activities of these market women. It is not the first time that Tinubu’s wife has shown a commitment to women’s empowerment. Previously, she has engaged in similar initiatives across different states in Nigeria. This latest move is significant as it comes in the run-up to the 2027 presidential elections in Nigeria, where her husband, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is a contender. The impact of such initiatives on the electoral fortunes of political candidates in Nigeria is a topic of ongoing debate among political analysts.
