Event: Launch of the PBAT (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu) Door-to-Door Movement's grassroots mobilisation campaign in Jalingo, Taraba State

Speakers: Governor Agbu Kefas and Tompolo, the movement's Grand Patron, who was represented by High Chief Kestin Pondi

Message: Both called for support for President Tinubu's 2027 re-election

Donations: 25 campaign vehicles, generators and electronic speakers were donated to support the movement's activities

Tompolo, who is the Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, was represented at the event by High Chief Kestin Pondi. In his message, he said the reforms of the Tinubu administration need more time to consolidate and deliver their expected benefits. He urged supporters to take the campaign to homes, religious centres, wards, local government areas and polling units.

"Every policy needs time to consolidate; every policy needs time to show dividends," he said. He added that every policy reformation comes with its own challenges.

He also said Taraba is benefiting from the policies of the Federal Government, and argued that continuity would help sustain the gains recorded so far.

Governor Kefas said the people of Taraba are already seeing the impact of the Tinubu administration through projects being implemented in the state. "Taraba is ready," he said, adding that the people are seeing what the President is doing through him.

He reaffirmed his administration's commitment to the Renewed Hope Agenda and pledged strong support for President Tinubu in the 2027 election. He said Taraba would turn out in large numbers and give the President 100 percent of the votes.

The movement's National Coordinator, Sunday Asuku, said the group was in Taraba to extend its mobilisation efforts and canvass support for President Tinubu and the state governor.

The event also featured the donation of 25 campaign vehicles, generators and electronic speakers. These are meant to support the movement's grassroots mobilisation activities.

With the 2027 general elections approaching, political groups are expanding their grassroots outreach, and this launch is one example of that early mobilisation. The claims made at the event about the impact of the administration's policies are the speakers' own positions.
