Ahead of the 2027 general elections, the BTO4PBAT27 Support Group has set a target of securing 90 per cent of votes in Ondo State for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, while mobilising support for all duly nominated candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The group said the target would be pursued through sustained grassroots mobilisation, voter engagement, reconciliation and the deployment of its political structures across the 18 local government areas of the state.
In a statement signed by its Director-General of the group, Adesuyi Adojutelegan, the group said its objective was to consolidate the gains of the Tinubu administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda and strengthen the APC at the grassroots ahead of the elections.
Adojutelegan said the 90 per cent target was not intended as mere political rhetoric, but as a benchmark for measuring its mobilisation efforts before and during the elections.
According to him, achieving the target would require effective organisation at the community, ward and polling-unit levels, as well as sustained engagement with voters and other stakeholders.
‘President Bola Ahmed Tinubu deserves our full support for a renewed mandate, and every duly nominated APC candidate in Ondo State will receive the committed support of our political structure,’ he said.
Adojutelegan said the mobilisation strategy would bring together youths, women, traders, artisans, professionals, community leaders and other stakeholders, with emphasis on expanding the party’s grassroots reach and translating political support into votes.
He maintained that the strategy would cover the presidential, National Assembly and State House of Assembly elections, stressing that its structures would work towards ensuring victory for the party’s entire ticket.
He said its political philosophy was inspired by the leadership and grassroots approach of the Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, popularly known as BTO, adding that political strength should be measured by service, organisation, unity and measurable electoral results.
He however, pledged to support all candidates eventually nominated by the APC, regardless of individual interests, saying there would be no ‘politics of selective loyalty’ after the party’s nomination process.
‘Our message across Ondo State will remain consistent: one party, one mission and one collective responsibility to deliver victory,’ it said.
He expressed confidence that a united APC would retain its electoral strength in the state, describing its 90 per cent target as the standard against which its mobilisation campaign would be assessed.
‘From the grassroots to the ballot box, BTO4PBAT27 is ready. For President Tinubu, we will mobilise.
‘For every APC candidate, we will work. For Ondo State, we will organise. For 2027, our mandate is total victory,’ he said
