A coalition of Nigerian women under the banner of FOOG Women Support Group for Asiwaju has declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s second term, commending his performance under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
The group, led by its facilitator and Iye of Warri Kingdom, Chief Esther Okotie-Eboh, made the declaration in Warri, Delta State, during the official inauguration of the group on Friday.
She said FOOG was established to promote good leadership, governance, and sustainable development; qualities they believed President Tinubu’s administration exemplified.
“FOOG is for good leadership and sustainable development. President Tinubu has shown commitment to building a resilient, transparent, and investment-friendly society. It is our responsibility to support his continuity in office,” Okotie-Eboh said.
The group commended the Federal Government for what it described as inclusive governance, the economic gains recorded in the last two years, and President Tinubu’s creation of regional development commissions for equitable growth and economic revival across local communities in the country.
She said, “FOOG as a support group is for good leadership, good governance, and sustainable development; we are saddled with the responsibility to encourage and support these traits anywhere we find them.”
“While President Bola Tinubu’s administration is resolute to build a resilient, transparent, and investment-friendly society, FOOG must actualise his continuity in office.”
“The government has also attracted over $50m Foreign Direct Investment commitments, net foreign exchange reserves upfront $3.99bn (2023) to $23.11bn (2024); over $8bn in new oil and gas investments unlocked, four new landmark tax bills, five new regional development commissions, over $800m realised in processing investments in solid minerals.”
The chairman on the occasion, Mrs Tina Otumara and Mrs Caroline Eyewuoma, in their separate remarks, promised to galvanise support across communities for Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
