A Paradigm Shift in Political Influence

In an unprecedented display of organized political agency, the Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Suleiman, has announced the 2026 Women Mega Empowerment and Rally. Speaking at a press briefing in Abuja on Thursday, the Minister framed the upcoming event as a transformative shift from mere participation to actual power. The movement, themed “The Power of 10 Million: One Voice, One Movement, One Choice,” is designed to establish Nigerian women as an organized constituent with the structure to influence national policy directly.

Strategic Deliverables and the National Charter

The rally, which is set to take place at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, is built around three core objectives. First, it will serve as a platform for a formal endorsement of President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections. Second, it will witness the presentation of a unified women’s national charter of demands, consolidating the needs of women from every ward in the country. Finally, the event will focus on the seamless integration of grassroots groups to ensure that empowerment initiatives reach beyond the urban centers and into the 9,410 wards nationwide.

Economic Imperatives and Grassroots Impact

Minister Suleiman emphasized that the mobilization effort is not merely a social gesture but an economic necessity. Central to this strategy is the Renewed Hope Social Impact Intervention 774 programme, which targets women in every local government area with enterprise support, skills training, and direct grants. By positioning women as drivers of transformational change rather than passive beneficiaries, the Ministry aims to multiply national productivity through targeted financial inclusion and entrepreneurial development.
