A political support group, One Nigeria Mandate for Tinubu/Shettima Project, Ekiti chapter, has commenced extensive grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking with journalists on Wednesday in Ado-Ekiti during its inaugural meeting, The Chairman of the group, Olugbenga Kowe, said that the group is determined to strengthen public confidence and trust in President Tinubu’s administration by engaging citizens across communities.
Kowe added that the group has begun setting up structures across all 16 local government areas, with plans to appoint ward coordinators in the coming weeks to ensure the gospel of president Tinubu reaches every community.
Kowe, who is also the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Biodun Oyebanji on Community Development, described the group as a national mobilisation platform committed to strengthening unity, citizen engagement and political awareness across the country.
He explained that beyond mobilising support for President Tinubu and Vice President Kashim Shettima, the initiative would also work to ensure the re-election of Governor Biodun Oyebanji in Ekiti State.
He noted that the country has witnessed remarkable improvement in governance, economic management and security under President Tinubu, adding that the Renewed Hope Agenda have started yielding positive results.
Kowe hailed the President’s decision to remove fuel subsidy, describing it as a bold and strategic economic reform that has expanded fiscal space for states as well as local governments to execute more developmental projects.
He said: ‘Every leader before now talked about removing subsidy, but it takes courage and political will to actually do it. The subsidy regime was a necessary monster. a scam that enriched a few Nigerians. President Tinubu took the bold decision, and today there’s more money circulating within the system.’
Kowe expressed optimism that with continued reforms and sustained public engagement, the President Bola Tinubu-led administration would achieve greater national progress.
‘We are confident in the leadership direction of Mr. President. His decisions are courageous, his focus is clear, and the results are becoming evident nationwide,’ he said.
