- says ‘we are coming home to mobilise votes for performing president’
The United kingdom chapter of a support group campaigning for the reelection of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the forthcoming election has declared that the Ondo State electorate will return him with massive votes.
Indeed, the group, which is the UK’s chapter of TinubuDatiwa Support Group pledged to mobilise resources and voters to secure a resounding victory for Tinubu in Ondo State in the 2027 elections.
It pledged to return to Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections to participate in the voting process, in addition to deploying its resources towards voter mobilisation
The group’s President, Mr Oluwatosin Balogun, made the declaration in Central London during a meeting with the Ondo State Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Mr Idowu Ajanaku, in Central London
He said he massive support for Tinubu in the state would dim the chances of leading opposition presidential candidates.
He attributed the group’s commitment to Tinubu’s re-election to what he described as “developmental strides of the Tinubu administration in the Southwest, particularly the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and the Ilesa-Owo Expressway, as well as the infrastructural development initiatives of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa in Ondo State.”
Also, the group pledged to return to Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections to participate in the voting process, in addition to deploying its resources towards voter mobilisatio.
Responding, Ajanaku commended the group for its commitment to Tinubu’s re-election and for recognising Aiyedatiwa’s efforts in transforming Ondo State into an industrial hub.
He disclosed that the governor had begun taking strategic steps to secure massive votes for the President, including the appointment of four special assistants in each local government area to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and the inauguration of presidential campaign committees.
According to the commissioner, Aiyedatiwa is determined not only to retain Ondo State’s position as the state with the highest number of votes for Tinubu in the Southwest during the 2023 presidential election, but also to surpass the previous record in 2027.
Ajanaku said the UK branch’s determination to return home and mobilise support for the President demonstrated the strength of Tinubu’s political support base in Ondo State.
He added that the group’s commitment sent a strong signal to opposition presidential candidates that the state would be a challenging battleground for them in the forthcoming election.
The commissioner expressed confidence that Tinubu’s re-election would attract further development to Ondo State.
