Ramatu Tijani Aliyu // ⓘ (née Sidi Ali; born 12 June 1970) is a Nigerian politician who served as the Minister of State for the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). She was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari on 21 August 2019 and served until 29 May 2023. Ramatu was previously the national woman leader of the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), later the All Progressive Congress (APC), after the party and other political parties merged (2014-2018).
She supported Muhammadu Buhari during his presidential campaigns, where she criticised the opposition candidate in the 2019 election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for not bringing anything important to the development of the country while he was the vice president of Nigeria and called on Nigerians not to expect anything from him as he has nothing to offer again. She was elected president of the Council of African Political Parties, serving from 2015 to 2017.
