The Asiwaju Mandate Group (AMG) has inaugurated its Women Wing in Ondo State amidst fanfare and wide participation. The event, which was held at the AMG secretariat in Akure, brought together key leaders of the group and women from across the state.
Speaking at the inauguration, the Director General of AMG, Asiwaju Muyiwa Asagunla, welcomed the women into the fold and described the development as a strategic step towards mobilising women across all groups, without discrimination, for the continued success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the actualisation of the Renewed Hope Agenda, especially towards the re-election of the President in 2027.
He explained that AMG, under the leadership of the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, is committed to grassroots mobilisation and giving voice to women, youths, professionals, artisans, and all categories of people who believe in good governance and progress.
The Women Wing coordinated by the former Ondo Commissioner of Water Resources, Sanitation and Hygiene, Hon. Yetunde Adeyanju, who in her acceptance speech promised to rally women from all walks of life, including market women, artisans, farmers, and professionals, to join hands in sustaining national development. She assured the leadership of AMG of the women’s readiness to contribute meaningfully to the re-election bid of President Tinubu in 2027.
She eulogised the Minister of Interior for his initiatives and accessibility, describing him as a leader who has distinguished himself in service.
“The Hon. Minister is a man of the people and accessible to all. He belongs to all groups and politicians in Ondo State. He wants to ensure 99% votes for the President in Ondo State. To him, women’s participation in politics is not negotiable, because he believes women are central to building a stronger democracy.” She said.
