The son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Hon. Olujuwon Obasanjo, has joined the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as Special Adviser on Political Affairs, pledging support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027.
Obasanjo made the pledge during a visit to the Movement’s headquarters in Abuja, Wednesday, where he was received by the National Coordinator and taken on a guided tour of the facility to familiarise himself with the organisation’s structure and operations.
He described his appointment as an honour and privilege, commending the Movement for its outreach across communities, efforts to touch lives and promotion of government activities.
Obasanjo said he had followed the movement’s activities for some time and was impressed by its work, adding that he was ready to contribute his quota towards its objectives and the re-election of President Tinubu.
According to him, the President has started on a good note, making it necessary for Nigerians, particularly young people to join hands to sustain the ongoing reforms and ensure continuity in governance.
He said the country had made progress in areas including salary payments, infrastructure development and investment opportunities, noting that the gains recorded should be sustained.
He expressed confidence that continued support for the President would enable his administration to build on its achievements and deliver more for Nigerians.
Obasanjo disclosed that he has been a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since 2014, explaining that his family allows members to hold independent political views and pursue their political interests without animosity.
Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Comr. Sunday Adekanbi, welcomed Obasanjo to the Movement, describing him as an experienced political figure with a strong background in leadership and governance.
He expressed optimism that his experience and understanding of political mobilisation would strengthen the movement and advance its activities across the country.
Adekanbi said the organisation was pleased to receive the younger Obasanjo, whose decision to join the Movement, he noted, reflected his interest in contributing to Nigeria’s growth and development.
The National Coordinator added that the movement expected him to bring his knowledge and experience to bear in driving its objectives forward.
