Women Rise for 2027: Female Gender Support Group Unveils PBAT Movement in Lagos
The atmosphere was vibrant and filled with renewed energy as the Female Gender Support Group (FGSG) officially launched the PBAT 2027 Support Movement—a powerful initiative designed to strengthen women’s political engagement and consolidate Lagos State’s support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections.
Convener of the group, Hon. Kafayat Akinpelu Agusto-Momoh, in her address, described the gathering as “a celebration of unity, courage, and the unstoppable spirit of Nigerian women.”
Speaking passionately, she noted that the group has grown into one of the most extensive women-led political structures across the 20 Local Government Areas and 37 Local Council Development Areas of Lagos State.
Values Driving the Movement
Agusto-Momoh explained that the FGSG stands firmly on five core values:
Empowering women to participate in governance and community development
Unity and sisterhood, across all backgrounds
Grassroots political awareness, especially for women
Service to humanity, through leaders who prioritize people
Integrity and accountability in all activities
“These values bind us together,” she said, “and they remind us that our strength lies in our collective voice.”
Plans to Strengthen PBAT’s 2027 Support Base
The movement outlined several strategies to ensure widespread mobilization:
Ward-level coordinators for door-to-door engagement
Community sensitization through town halls and market outreaches
Aggressive digital campaigns targeting families and women
Leadership training to prepare more women for political roles
Partnerships with youth, market groups, faith-based organizations, and NGOs
Agusto-Momoh emphasized that the goal is to amplify awareness of the president’s achievements and promote continuity in leadership.
Tinubu’s Achievements Highlighted
The convener listed several strides under President Tinubu’s leadership, including:
Structural economic reforms
Cash transfer programs and student loan schemes
Nationwide infrastructure development
Improved security measures
Agricultural support programs
Power sector investments
Women and youth empowerment opportunities
“These are not just policies,” she said, “but actions already reshaping the nation’s future.”
Leaders Laud Women’s Initiative
Prominent leaders praised the initiative. Chief Rabiu Oluwa commended the organizers and reminded attendees that the economic challenges facing Nigeria existed long before the current administration.
Princess Rasheedat Abiodun Adu, former Chairperson of Iru-Victoria Island LCDA, celebrated the unity among women and applauded President Tinubu and the Lagos State Governor for consistently giving women opportunities.
She dismissed global claims about instability in Nigeria, reaffirming that the country remains united across religious lines. Adu encouraged women to step forward boldly:
“This is our time. Women must remain at the frontline; we have proven that we are capable.”
FGSG’s Broader Mission
The FGSG reaffirmed its identity as a support community built on love, empathy, and shared growth. The group focuses on:
Women’s empowerment
Building networks of support
Gender equality
Emotional and social well-being
Education and personal development
Safety and protection of women
They describe themselves as “one prosperous global family, committed to helping women bloom.”
A Moment of Renewed Hope
In her closing remarks, Agusto-Momoh encouraged the women to continue carrying the torch of hope across Lagos State.
“Let us go forward with strength and unity. Let us support a leader whose vision continues to shape Nigeria. Together, we will achieve more—together, we rise.”
The event ended with renewed enthusiasm as hundreds of women pledged their support toward the PBAT 2027 project.
