As campaigns for the January 2027 presidential election gather momentum, the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement has launched its grassroots mobilisation campaign in Taraba State, calling on residents to support the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The movement, led by its Grand Patron, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, said the President’s reforms require more time to consolidate and deliver greater benefits to Nigerians.
Represented at the launch in Jalingo by High Chief Kestin Pondi, Tompolo said Taraba was benefiting from the policies of the Tinubu administration, stressing that continuity was necessary to sustain the gains recorded so far.
He said, “Taraba is thriving because President Tinubu has good reformation policies that are moving the state forward. If we want those policies to continue and be more solid, to consolidate on them, we need to give the president another four years.”
According to him, another term would ensure that civil servants continue to receive their salaries as at when due, while Governor Agbu Kefas would have more time to develop the state.
Tompolo said some challenges previously experienced by Nigerians, including fuel queues and disruptions in university education have reduced, attributing the changes to policies of the Tinubu administration.
He acknowledged that reforms come with challenges but said they require time to produce their full benefits.
“Every policy needs time to consolidate; every policy needs time to show dividends. Every policy reformation will always come with its own challenges, but once we bear a little and they pass, we will go to the smooth road we are to ride on,” he said.
He urged supporters of the movement to take the campaign to every level of the society, including homes, religious centres, wards, local government areas and polling units.
Speaking at the event, Governor Agbu Kefas said the people of Taraba were already witnessing the impact of the Tinubu administration through projects being implemented in the state.
“Taraba is ready. You don’t need to tell the people of Taraba State what the President is doing; they are seeing what the President is doing through me,” Kefas said.
The Governor said his administration remains committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President, adding that the state would continue to work with the Federal Government on development projects.
“We are moving forward with the mandate of the Renewed Hope Agenda of Mr. President and by the grace of God we are going to go to all the units, the wards and be flagging off projects and commissioning projects, not telling empty stories,” he said.
Kefas also pledged massive support for Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.
“I want to assure you that we are going to turn out en masse and give the President 100 percent votes. We are ready for Mr. President,” he said.
Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Sunday Asuku, said the group was in Taraba to extend its message of support for the President and the state governor.
Asuku said Nigerians should maintain the current political direction, arguing that abandoning the reforms of the Tinubu administration would be counterproductive.
“The surest way for us today is the APC. We are on the right trajectory and that is why we should remain where we are,” he said.
He commended Kefas for what he described as achievements recorded in Taraba over the past three years, saying the turnout at the event reflected grassroots support for the governor.
Highpoint of the event was the donation of 25 campaign vehicles, generators and electronic speakers for grassroots mobilisation.
