The Ondo State chapter of the PBAT Mandate Elders Forum has endorsed President Bola Tinubu for re-election in 2027, stating that his economic reforms must be sustained and consolidated to secure Nigeria’s prosperity.

In a statement issued to commemorate Nigeria’s 66th Independence Anniversary, Chairman of the Forum, Demola Ijabiyi, said the reforms had been laying the foundation for investment, local production, and employment.

Ijabiyi warned that the reversal of the reforms being advocated by the President’s opponents would deepen and spread poverty.

He urged youths to embrace education, skills, technology, and entrepreneurship, describing their talent and energy as essential to the greater Nigeria being sought.

RELATEDLY, the Olu of Agege Kingdom, Oba Kamila Oyedeji Isiba, and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kayode Opeifa, have thrown their weight behind all APC candidates, urging party members and residents to intensify grassroots mobilisation ahead of forthcoming elections in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

They made the appeal during the Independence Day celebration organised by the Sule Shakiru Akindele Enimakure Campaign Organisation in Agege/Orile Agege, Lagos, where party faithful gathered in large numbers to commemorate the anniversary and reaffirm their political commitment.

Oba Isiba, who stressed the importance of unity among party supporters, urged residents of Agege and its environs to remain steadfast and work collectively towards delivering overwhelming votes for the party at all levels.

Opeifa, while addressing the gathering, called on party members to commence door-to-door campaigns and community engagements to galvanise support for APC candidates.

He emphasised that the forthcoming elections would require coordinated efforts to secure victory for President Tinubu and other party’s flag bearers.
