The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, led by Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, is set to embark on a nationwide mobilisation tour of eight additional states in Nigeria. The tour, scheduled from November 9 to 14, aims to strengthen grassroots support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. The movement's National Coordinator, Sunday Asuku, announced the development in a statement.
The latest round of engagements will cover Enugu, Cross River, Bayelsa, Zamfara, Jigawa, Anambra, Kebbi, and Abia states. This expansion extends the movement's mobilisation drive across the South-east, South-south, and North-west geopolitical zones. The tour will commence in Enugu and Cross River states on November 9. Specific venues and times have been announced for some states, including Okpara Square in Enugu at 10 a.m. and Calabar Municipal Field in Cross River at 2 p.m.
On November 11, the movement will engage in Bayelsa State at the Siasia Stadium, Yenagoa, at 10 a.m. The following day, November 12, it will move to Zamfara State for an 11 a.m. programme, followed by an engagement in Jigawa State at 2 p.m. The tour will continue on November 13 with activities in Anambra State at 10 a.m. and Kebbi State at 2 p.m. The final stop will be Abia State on November 14 at 10 a.m. Venues for some of these engagements have not been disclosed.
This tour represents another phase of the movement's expanding nationwide mobilisation campaign. The goal is to establish a strong grassroots network capable of reaching voters at the ward, local government, and community levels. So far, the movement has taken its mobilisation activities to approximately 20 states.
The movement has distributed over 500 vehicles to facilitate grassroots operations and strengthen the activities of its coordinators across the country. These vehicles aim to improve mobility, coordination, and the capacity of the movement's structures to reach communities, markets, neighbourhoods, and other grassroots locations.
The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement focuses on building a coordinated grassroots network through state, local government, and ward coordinators. These coordinators are expected to take President Tinubu's message directly to Nigerians rather than depend exclusively on conventional political rallies. The movement also aims to communicate the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration.
Key initiatives of the Tinubu administration include economic reforms, infrastructure development, education initiatives, local government autonomy, and other policy interventions. The movement's approach has attracted national attention, with an emphasis on effective grassroots coordination and feedback from communities.
