… Meets APC stakeholders, charges coordinators on PVC collection drive

A support group within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), BTO4PBAT, has concluded the first phase of its unit-to-unit tour across Ondo State, covering five Local Council Areas ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The group concluded the first leg of the tour on Thursday in the Ifedore Local Council Area of the state, following earlier visits to Ondo West, Okitipupa, Irele, and Ese-Odo.

During the tour, the delegation met with key APC stakeholders, ward and polling-unit coordinators, community leaders, women, and youth groups.

According to the Director-General, Adesuyi Adojutelegan, grassroots coordinators across all the visited areas, pledged unalloyed support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu as well as other APC candidates.

Adojutelegan said the tour was designed to strengthen grassroots structures, encourage active political participation, promote unity within the APC, and work collectively towards the victory of Tinubu and all APC candidates in 2027.

“Our message remains clear. We must strengthen our grassroots structures, encourage active political participation, promote unity within the APC, and work collectively towards the victory of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and all APC candidates in 2027,” Adojutelegan said.

He further noted that local coordinators have been charged with intensifying voter education and mobilising eligible citizens to participate in ongoing registration exercises and collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs).

“We recognise that every eligible Nigerian must be encouraged to participate freely, peacefully, and responsibly in the democratic process,” he added.

The support group aims to eventually extend its grassroots mobilisation across all 18 Local Government Areas, 203 political wards, and 3,933 polling units in Ondo State.

The group expressed gratitude to the Minister of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, popularly known as BTO, acknowledging his visionary leadership, mentorship, and unwavering support.
