A group of women in Ondo State, under the umbrella of the Asiwaju Mandate Group (AMG), has lauded President Bola Tinubu’s strides in human capital and infrastructural development, saying his achievements so far to move the nation forward will give him the second chance to govern the country successfully.
Yetunde Adeyanju, the Coordinator of AMG’s Women Wing in Ondo, while speaking on Thursday during their programme in Ondo town, praised the president for driving equitable growth, reviving the economy and giving women strategic roles in governance.
According to her, the commitment of the group is to deliver a massive number of votes for Tinubu in the 2027 Presidential election across the 18 Local Government Areas.
“Our mandate is basically to go to all the 18 local governments of Ondo State, mobilize our women, educate and sensitise them.
“The programme is put together by the Honourable Minister of Interior, Olubunmi-Tunji Ojo, to sensitize the women of Ondo State on the achievements and successes of our President, our own dear father, Bola Tinubu and that’s the whole essence of our gathering.

“And of course yes, the achievements of our President so far will give him the second chance to govern us in this country, and the mandate given to us by the leader of our group, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo is to ensure that every woman in Ondo State votes for Bola Tinubu in 2027 in the APC.
“Very soon, Nigerians will start buying rice at the rate of 20,000 naira per bag, because we have seen what the President has done in the last two years economically, I am a trader too, and I know the trend of the market in Nigeria and we started seeing the results. Now, two years ago, we were buying rice for as much as between 180,000 and 200,000 naira.
“I can assure you with the market trends now that, within the next two years, we will be buying rice for less than 20,000 naira and I’m so convinced about it”, she said.
Meanwhile, Governor Umo Eno of Akwa Ibom State has commended President Bola Tinubu for his bold fiscal and financial reforms, saying Akwa Ibom is domesticating national policies into tangible local wealth creation programmes
The governor made this known at the Moneyline Investment Forum held at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, represented by delegation led by the Commissioner for Information, Aniekan Umanah, and the Managing Director of Akwa Ibom Investment Corporation (AKICORP), Imoh Abasi Jacob.
Governor Eno emphasised that Nigeria is at a defining moment, and subnational governments must actively harness reforms to boost productivity, innovation, and economic growth within their States.
In a keynote address on the theme “Nigeria’s New Financial Landscape: Reforms, Risks, and the Road to Wealth Creation,” the Governor praised the Federal Government for introducing transformative policies, including the Investment and Securities Act 2025, the Insurance Industry Reform Act 2025, new tax laws, and the deregulation of the electricity market.
They stressed that while these reforms mark a decisive shift in Nigeria’s economic trajectory, the real challenge is to convert reforms into results and policies into prosperity.
