A women's group under the auspices of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kwara State Chapter, launched a new platform on Wednesday to promote female aspirants ahead of the 2027 general election.

Speaking at the launch at the state party secretariat in Ilorin, the convener and coordinator of the group, Hon. Ambassador Zainab Damilola Abbas, stated that the platform was formed to sustain the inclusive leadership legacy of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq.

"This is a defining moment in the female political journey in Kwara because we have to build on the legacy of His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq whose administration has maintained 35% women representation in governance, an achievement that is now recognised as a benchmark," she said.

Hon. Abbas further explained that the platform aims to mentor and mobilize women across the 16 local government areas in the state, strengthen solidarity among female aspirants, and complement government efforts in implementing the Renewed Hope Vision of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

She stressed the group's collaborative goal: "We are not here to compete but to complement; not to divide but to develop; not to be seen but to serve. We are committed to building a future where women are not only part of the story but actively shaping the story of Kwara and Nigeria."

She also commended the national grand matron, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the national matron, Hajia Fatimoh Tajudeen Abbas, and State matron, Ambassador Olufolake AbdulRazaq, for their consistent advocacy for women's advancement nationwide.
