Hon. Olujuwon Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has joined the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as Special Adviser on Political Affairs, pledging to mobilise support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

Olujuwon made this pledged on Wednesday during a visit to the movement’s national headquarters in Abuja, where he was formally received by its National Coordinator, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi.

He was also taken on a tour of the facility to familiarise himself with the organisation’s structure, operations and mobilisation activities.

Describing his appointment as an honour and privilege, Obasanjo commended the movement for its grassroots engagement, community outreach and efforts to promote the activities and achievements of the Tinubu administration.

He said he had followed the organisation’s activities for some time and was impressed by its interventions across communities, adding that he was prepared to contribute his experience and resources towards advancing its objectives.

According to him, President Tinubu has started on a good note, making it imperative for Nigerians, particularly young people, to support the administration’s reforms and ensure continuity in governance.

He identified regular salary payments, infrastructure development and expanding investment opportunities as some of the areas in which the country had recorded progress, insisting that the gains should be sustained.

Obasanjo expressed confidence that a renewed mandate for Tinubu would provide the administration with an opportunity to consolidate its achievements and deliver more dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

He also disclosed that he had been a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since 2014, explaining that members of his family were free to hold independent political views and pursue their political interests without rancour.

Earlier, Adekanbi welcomed Obasanjo into the movement, describing him as an experienced political figure with a background in leadership and governance.

He expressed confidence that Obasanjo’s political experience and understanding of grassroots mobilisation would strengthen the organisation’s structures and expand its reach across the country.

Adekanbi said the movement was delighted by his decision to join its fold, noting that his involvement demonstrated a willingness to contribute to national development and the success of the Tinubu administration.

He added that the organisation expected the new Special Adviser to deploy his knowledge, experience and political connections towards advancing its mobilisation drive ahead of the 2027 general election.
