The Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo; Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke; and the Minister for Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, have set a minimum target of 1.5 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Osun State for the January 16, 2027 presidential election.
Osun has 2,339,233 registered voters, out of which 1,906,3,90, who collected the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) are eligible to vote in the upcoming election.
They set the target on Saturday in Osogbo, the state capital, during the inauguration of state and local government structures of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement and the donation of 30 vehicles and other campaign materials by the Grand Patron of the Movement.
Speaking through his representative, the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, Chief Kestin Pondi, the PBAT Door-to-Door Grand Patron reminded the people of Osun State that President Tinubu is one of their own as a Yoruba man.
He stated that as a proud son of the South-West, the people of Osun State had a duty to send the President back to Aso-Rock for a second term, adding that Osun people should unite in giving President Tinubu nothing less than ninety per cent of the votes cast in the state for the presidential election.
Besides the cultural affiliation to Tinubu, the PBAT Door-to-Door Grand Patron, identified the impactful reforms implemented by the President in key sectors, stressing that these policies have resulted in states receiving higher allocations, even as improved resources for states has seen governors pay salaries, pensions, and for the execution of major projects.
He said: ‘We are in Osun State canvassing votes for a man who has done so well for the South-West because we believe in the man. We believe in the man’s reformation agenda, and we believe that the man is what Nigeria needs at this point.’
Highlighting some of the President’s achievements, Tompolo said: ‘We no longer have fuel queues. Our economy is stable. People are now coming to invest in Nigeria, as against when people were removing their money from Nigeria before he assumed office.
‘Today, your governor has money to execute projects because President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was bold enough to start his reforms. Today, salaries are paid on time because the man was bold enough to start his reforms.
‘Most people would have started their reforms in their second term, but he did start his reforms in the first term. Why do you think he did that? Because he loves Nigeria. Because he puts Nigeria first. Because he wants to see that Nigeria moves from what it is now to something that will be the envy of other countries around us.
‘If we must allow him to continue doing what he’s doing and move Nigeria to where Nigeria should be in the comity of nations, then we need to give him a second term. That’s why we’re in Osun State. That’s why we have come to you. We know that you are already going to vote for your brother.
‘We know that you’re already going to vote for your son. We know that you’re already going to vote for the man who is moving Nigeria forward. But what we have come to tell you is that we don’t want your vote to be less than 90%. We want you to give him as many votes as you have. If you can give him 100%, give him 100%,’ Tompolo further said.
In his speech, Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke, said political parties and groups in Osun were united with the sole aim of ensuring a majority win for President Tinubu in the state.
Adeleke, who was represented at the rally by his deputy, Kola Adewusi, commended the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement for campaigning for the President’s re-election, saying it has given President Tinubu’s campaign a Pan-Nigeria outlook.
