A political support group, BTO4PBAT27, backed by the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, has initiated a grassroots mobilisation campaign across wards and polling units in Ondo State. The group aims to strengthen grassroots structures and mobilise support for President Bola Tinubu's re-election in the 2027 general elections. This campaign involves a 'Unit-to-Unit Tour' across the state's 18 local government areas.
The group's Director-General, Gideon Adojutelegan, stated that the tour would focus on voter education, Permanent Voter Card (PVC) awareness, political reconciliation, community dialogue, and strengthening its presence at ward and polling-unit levels. The initiative aims to engage residents, party members, community leaders, youths, women, and other stakeholders directly. This approach is designed to move beyond conventional political mobilisation by listening to community concerns and priorities.
Adojutelegan emphasised that effective political organisation must have its foundation among the people. The group's objective is to build relationships, strengthen grassroots participation, and maintain regular interaction with the electorate. Sustained engagement at the ward and polling-unit levels is critical to building an effective political organisation.
The Unit-to-Unit Tour will also promote party unity and support for candidates duly nominated by the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the 2027 elections. Adojutelegan lauded Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, for his leadership, guidance, and continued support for the group's political and grassroots activities. The minister's encouragement has helped strengthen the group's organisational structure and motivated members to expand their activities across the state.
Adojutelegan expressed the group's profound appreciation for Tunji-Ojo's leadership, guidance, trust, encouragement, and continued support. 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 will also strengthen coordination among its members and create sustained channels of engagement between its leadership and communities across Ondo State.
The group's activities will involve direct engagement with various stakeholders, including community leaders, youths, and women. This approach will help to promote party unity and support for the APC candidates in the 2027 elections. The group is committed to conducting its activities in a responsible and disciplined manner.
The launch of the grassroots mobilisation campaign is a significant development in Ondo State's politics, as the 2027 general elections approach. The group's efforts to strengthen grassroots structures and mobilise support for President Tinubu's re-election will likely have a significant impact on the state's political landscape.
