2027: Obasanjo’s Son Declares Support For Tinubu’s Re-Election

Olujuwon Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, joining the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as Special Adviser on Political Affairs.

Olujuwon made the declaration on Wednesday during a visit to the movement’s headquarters in Abuja, where he was received by its National Coordinator, Sunday Asuku.

He was subsequently taken on a guided tour of the facility to familiarise himself with the organisation’s structure and operations.

Describing his appointment as an honour and privilege, Olujuwon commended the movement for its grassroots mobilisation, community outreach and efforts to promote the activities of the Tinubu administration.

He said he had followed the group’s activities for some time and was impressed by its efforts, adding that he was ready to contribute to its objectives and the President’s second-term ambition.

“President Tinubu 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.

He added that the country had recorded progress in areas such as salary payments, infrastructure development and investment opportunities, arguing that the gains should be sustained.

Olujuwon expressed confidence that continued support for Tinubu would enable the administration to consolidate its achievements and deliver more dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

He also disclosed that he had been a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since 2014, explaining that members of his family were free to pursue different political interests without hostility.

“My family allows members to hold independent political views and pursue our political interests without animosity,” he said.

Welcoming him to the movement, Asuku described Olujuwon as an experienced political figure whose leadership and governance background would strengthen the organisation’s mobilisation efforts.

“We are certain his experience and understanding of political mobilisation would strengthen the movement and advance its activities across the country,” he said.

Asuku expressed confidence that Olujuwon would deploy his political experience and knowledge to advance the movement’s objectives.

The development comes as political groups and parties begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 general election, with supporters of Tinubu stepping up grassroots mobilisation for his re-election.
