Northern Women’s Coalition Says It Will Withhold Support for Tinubu in 2027

A coalition of Northern women’s groups says it will not support President Bola Tinubu for a second term in 2027, citing economic hardship, insecurity and concerns about political inclusion. At town hall meetings in Kano, Kaduna and Abuja, speakers said rising food prices, transport costs and school fees have placed a heavy burden on families. Groups from the North-West and North-Central also raised concerns about banditry, kidnapping and disruptions to farming and schooling. APC women leaders rejected the criticism, saying the administration’s reforms are intended to deliver long-term benefits. The Presidency says the President remains focused on governance and will address his 2027 plans at the appropriate time. Political analysts note that women are an important voting bloc across Northern states, and that the reported sentiment could influence the 2027 race if it gains wider support.

Economic hardship, insecurity and political inclusion are serious concerns, so it is understandable that the coalition is making its stance public.

Withholding support is a strong signal, but voters may still judge every candidate by what they offer on these same issues.

The coalition should keep documenting specific demands from the town halls and ask all 2027 contenders to respond clearly.
