I-Women To Launch Grassroots Initiative In Ijebu-Ode, Unveils Medical Outreach, ‘One Woman, Ten Votes’ Campaign

The I-Women group is set to launch its I-Women Cares & Connects 2027 initiative in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, on Friday, November 13, 2026, with a series of humanitarian activities, including household visits to vulnerable residents, a medical outreach and a community engagement programme.

The pilot launch, according to the group's Convener, Mrs Yinka Osifodunrin-Ogundimu, is designed to address community needs through humanitarian interventions, healthcare support, political awareness and grassroots mobilisation.

Activities will commence at 9:00 a.m. with visits to identified vulnerable individuals and households for the distribution of needs-based palliatives. A medical outreach will also hold simultaneously to provide healthcare support to residents.

The programme will continue at 2:00 p.m. with a Community Awareness and Engagement Session at 6, Lamidi Raji Street, off Ejinrin Road, Ijebu-Ode.

The engagement session will focus on identifying pressing community needs, encouraging political participation and mobilising grassroots support for the five All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates contesting elections from the presidential level to the Ogun State House of Assembly.

A major highlight of the mobilisation drive will be the "One Woman, Ten Votes" campaign, a grassroots mobilisation mantra initiated by Mrs Temitope Adeola Yayi, wife of the APC governorship hopeful, Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola, popularly known as Yayi.

The initiative is aimed at encouraging women to mobilise at least 10 voters each, thereby strengthening grassroots participation and expanding the group's mobilisation network ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The group also has Chief Mrs Yetunde Onanuga, a former Deputy Governor of Ogun State, as its Matron, providing leadership and guidance to the initiative.

Osifodunrin-Ogundimu called for collective commitment, visibility and active participation among members, stressing the importance of taking the group's humanitarian activities, political message and engagement directly to communities.

She described the pilot launch as a collective assignment and urged members and supporters to demonstrate their commitment through active involvement in the programme.

The event is expected to mark the commencement of the group's community-based humanitarian and political mobilisation activities in Ijebu-Ode
