BTO4PBAT2027, a newly launched political support group for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has empowered over 350 widows, women, and youths in Arigidi-Akoko, Akoko North West Local Government Area of Ondo State.
The group, which was inaugurated on Saturday, combined its official launch with an empowerment programme where cash gifts were distributed to residents at the grassroots.
The initiative, according to the organisers, forms part of a series of empowerment projects targeted at the underprivileged in Ondo State.
Speaking at the event, the Director-General of the group, Adesuyi Adojutelegan, said the primary mission of BTO4PBAT2027 is to work towards ensuring the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
He praised the president’s administration for driving rapid development in Nigeria through economic reforms and major infrastructure projects.
Adojutelegan explained that the initiative was sponsored by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and described the support as a boost to the group’s mission.
He said, “With unwavering commitment to the continued progress of our nation, this movement is geared towards the re-election of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Proudly sponsored by Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, Honourable Minister of Interior, this event was a resounding success, bringing together passionate supporters, community leaders, and citizens united for a greater Nigeria.”
He added that the cash empowerment programme was one of the highlights of the inauguration, aimed at addressing immediate community needs and giving hope to residents. “We believe the cash empowerment will help them in a little way to cater for their immediate needs,” he stated.
The Director-General also urged young people in the state to take advantage of the ongoing voter registration exercise. He encouraged eligible youths, especially those who just turned eighteen, to register and obtain their voter cards.
“I want to encourage our people in the Southwest to take advantage of the online registration. If you just turned eighteen, it’s time for you to register. Your vote is your right, and you can only participate in the election with your voter card,” Adojutelegan said.
Also speaking, the spokesperson of the group, Folajimi Adewumi, commended the Minister of Interior for his role in supporting the re-election project.
He said, “Tunji-Ojo, apart from being a star figure who has spearheaded rapid development in the Interior Ministry, is working tirelessly to secure President Tinubu’s victory in 2027. BTO4PBAT2027 group is determined to strengthen grassroots support and mobilize voters for a successful re-election bid of President Tinubu.”
