520 |a Ever since the world summit for the economic advancement of Rural Women held in Geneva in 1992, Presidential Spouses in Africa have sought to play an autonomous and coordinated role in national and international politics. In spite of lack of constitutional mandate, First Ladies have significant political influence, which offers unique insights into national politics. Yet, African First Ladies' role in politics had not been adequately discussed in the academic literature. In this paper, I aim to contribute to the scarce research on African First Ladies' roles in politics. The paper analyses the extent of their political influence drawing from their political activism, party affiliation, and partner in the conquest of power. In this paper, I employed qualitative methods of inquiry; primary data was obtained from previous interviews with Nigerian First Ladies during PhD fieldwork. The secondary sources of this paper are derived from books and journal articles.
