A support group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), BTO4PBAT, has announced plans to embark on a unit-to-unit tour across the 18 local council areas of Ondo State. The initiative is part of its grassroots engagement program aimed at strengthening party unity and voter education ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to the group's Director-General, Adesuyi Adojutelegan, the tour will provide opportunities for direct interaction with residents, party members, and community leaders.

The BTO4PBAT group has commended the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his continued leadership and support for its political and grassroots activities. The group stated that Tunji-Ojo's backing has been instrumental in strengthening its organizational structure and motivating members to engage in expanded grassroots activities. Adojutelegan expressed appreciation for the minister's encouragement, which has enabled the group to prepare for its proposed unit-to-unit tour.

The unit-to-unit tour is expected to enhance coordination across the state while promoting sustained interaction among the group's leadership, members, and communities. The program will focus on voter education, such as Permanent Voter Card (PVC) awareness, political reconciliation, community dialogue, and the strengthening of organizational structures at the ward and polling-unit levels. This initiative aims to build an effective and responsive political organization.

According to Adojutelegan, the group's activities are centered on grassroots engagement, voter education, party unity, and support for duly nominated APC candidates in the forthcoming elections. The sustained engagement at the ward and polling-unit levels is essential to building a strong political organization. The group intends to use the engagements as an avenue to listen to the concerns, priorities, and aspirations of communities.

The BTO4PBAT group emphasized that effective political organization must have its foundation among the people. The objective of the unit-to-unit tour is not simply to visit communities but to listen, engage, build relationships, and strengthen grassroots participation. This approach will enable the group to understand the needs and concerns of communities and promote a more responsive political organization.

The group expressed its appreciation to Tunji-Ojo for his leadership and support, saying his encouragement remains important to the organization as it expands its activities across the state. The group wished the minister continued wisdom, strength, and success in the discharge of his responsibilities. Adojutelegan stated that the group remains committed to conducting its activities with discipline, responsibility, and respect for the people and institutions it engages.

The unit-to-unit tour is a significant component of BTO4PBAT's grassroots engagement program, which aims to promote party unity and voter education ahead of the 2027 general elections. The group's efforts to engage with communities and listen to their concerns will help build a stronger and more responsive political organization. The tour is expected to commence soon, with the group set to interact with residents, party members, and community leaders across the 18 local council areas of Ondo State.
