Olujuwon Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has declared support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 after joining the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as Special Adviser on Political Affairs.
Olujuwon announced his position on Wednesday during a visit to the movement’s headquarters in Abuja, where he was received by its National Coordinator, Sunday Asuku.
He described his appointment as an honour and commended the group for its grassroots mobilisation, community engagement and efforts to promote the activities of the Tinubu administration.
According to him, he had followed the movement’s activities for some time and was impressed by its work, expressing readiness 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.
Olujuwon also cited salary payments, infrastructure development and investment opportunities as areas where he believed the country had recorded progress, arguing that the gains should be sustained.
He expressed confidence that continued support for Tinubu would enable the administration to consolidate its achievements and deliver more benefits to Nigerians.
The former President’s son further disclosed that he had been a member of the All Progressives Congress since 2014.
He noted that members of his family were free to hold different political views and pursue their interests without hostility.
Welcoming him to the movement, Asuku described Olujuwon as an experienced political figure whose background in leadership and governance would strengthen the organisation’s mobilisation activities.
He expressed confidence that the new appointee would use his political experience to advance the movement’s objectives across the country.
Olujuwon’s declaration comes as political groups and parties intensify activities and grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general election.
