Remi Tinubu Inaugurates PBAT Movement Headquarters in Abuja, Mobilises Support for 2027 Election

First Lady Oluremi Tinubu has commissioned the national headquarters of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement in Abuja, urging supporters to step up nationwide mobilisation efforts in preparation for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign in 2027.

Mrs Tinubu made the call during the inauguration on Friday, stressing that door-to-door campaigns remained an effective way to engage citizens, understand their concerns and communicate the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration.

She explained that the newly inaugurated headquarters would serve as a central point for coordinating activities, developing ideas and promoting the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and vision of shared prosperity across the country.

The First Lady commended the movement’s convener and grand patron, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, alongside other members, for their commitment to grassroots political mobilisation.

She urged members to engage Nigerians peacefully and respectfully, irrespective of their political affiliations, noting that every citizen deserved to be heard and valued.

According to her, the movement must focus on winning the confidence and votes of Nigerians through messages centred on hope, unity, development and shared prosperity.

### Akpabio Commends Movement’s Grassroots Mobilisation

Also speaking at the event, the President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, described the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as an important platform for strengthening grassroots engagement, promoting national unity and mobilising support for President Tinubu’s second term.

Akpabio praised Tompolo and the movement’s National Coordinator, Comrade Sunday Asuku, for building a campaign structure aimed at promoting the President’s policies and programmes.

He disclosed that the movement had visited 14 states, adding that its members were already conducting door-to-door campaigns in states such as Sokoto and Borno.

The Senate President also defended the Tinubu administration’s economic reforms, including the removal of the petrol subsidy, efforts to stabilise the currency and tax reforms.

He maintained that the measures were designed to reposition the Nigerian economy and improve the country’s long-term economic prospects.

### Tompolo Reaffirms Support for Tinubu’s Re-election

In his remarks, Tompolo reiterated his support for President Tinubu’s re-election in the 2027 presidential election, expressing confidence in the movement’s ongoing mobilisation efforts.

The traditional leader and political mobiliser said the group had already taken its campaign message to 14 states, with plans to extend its activities to the remaining states and the Federal Capital Territory.

He emphasised the movement’s commitment to expanding its grassroots presence and reaching more Nigerians as preparations for the 2027 general election gather momentum.

The inauguration of the Abuja headquarters is expected to provide a central coordination point for the movement’s activities as it seeks to strengthen its nationwide campaign network in support of President Tinubu.
