Olujuwon Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has joined the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as Special Adviser on Political Affairs, pledging to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Olujuwon made his position known during a visit to the movement’s headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday, where he was received by its National Coordinator, Sunday Asuku.
He was taken on a guided tour of the facility to familiarise himself with the organisation’s structure and operations.
Describing his appointment as an honour and privilege, Olujuwon commended the group for its grassroots mobilisation, community outreach and efforts to promote the activities of the Tinubu administration.
He said he had followed the movement’s activities for some time and was impressed by its efforts, adding that he was prepared to contribute to its objectives and the President’s second-term ambition.
He said, “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.
“Again, you will notice that the country has made progress in areas including salary payments, infrastructure development and investment opportunities. And I think the gains recorded should be sustained.”
He expressed confidence that sustained support for Tinubu would enable the administration to consolidate its achievements and deliver more dividends of democracy to Nigerians.
Olujuwon also disclosed that he had been a member of the All Progressives Congress since 2014, noting that members of his family were free to pursue different political interests without hostility.
He said his family “allows members to hold independent political views and pursue our political interests without animosity.”
Welcoming him to the movement, Asuku described Olujuwon as an experienced political figure whose leadership and governance background would strengthen the organisation’s mobilisation efforts.
He said, “We are certain his experience and understanding of political mobilisation would strengthen the movement and advance its activities across the country.
The national coordinator said the group was pleased with Olujuwon’s decision to join, expressing confidence that he would deploy his political experience and knowledge to advance its objectives.
The development comes as political groups and parties begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 general election, with supporters of the President intensifying grassroots mobilisation for his re-election.
