BTO4PBAT ’27 targets 1m votes for Tinubu in Ondo

….Group intensifies grassroots mobilisation across 3,933 polling units By Dayo Johnson, Akure The BTO For PBAT ’27 Support Group (BTO4PBAT ’27) has intensified its grassroots mobilisation across Ondo State, setting a target of one million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. The Director-General of the group, Ogbeni Adojutelegan Adesuyi Gideon, disclosed this in a statement issued in Akure, saying the organisation would strengthen its political structure and deepen community engagement across the state.

He said the group was working towards establishing a strong presence in Ondo’s 18 local government areas, 203 wards and 3,933 polling units ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to him, the one-million-vote target reflects the group’s political ambition and determination to sustain grassroots mobilisation ahead of the presidential election.

Adojutelegan said BTO4PBAT ’27, under the leadership of the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, was committed to building an organised, inclusive and coordinated political structure capable of engaging communities across the state. “Our political structure will continue to engage communities at the grassroots level as we work towards achieving our target of one million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Ondo State during the 2027 presidential election.

“We recognise that meaningful political engagement requires continuous interaction with the people, an understanding of their concerns, effective coordination and sustained participation at the community level,” he said. The Director-General explained that the group’s activities would extend beyond election periods, noting that regular engagement provided opportunities to promote political awareness, encourage voter registration and strengthen participation in democratic processes.

He described Tunji-Ojo’s leadership as an inspiration for the group’s emphasis on grassroots coordination, unity and political participation. Adojutelegan also underscored the importance of peaceful political activities, mutual respect among party stakeholders and effective collaboration across different levels of the organisation. He said the group would continue to engage stakeholders, community representatives, party members and supporters as part of its preparations for the 2027 general elections.

BTO4PBAT ’27 reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the activities of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, while encouraging eligible citizens to participate peacefully and responsibly in the democratic process. The group said its one-million-vote ambition would remain the central target guiding its grassroots engagement and political coordination ahead of the presidential election.
