2027: Obasanjo’s son joins Tinubu re-election campaign

Olujuwon Obasanjo, the son of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has announced his support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 election. On Wednesday, Olujuwon visited the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement's headquarters in Abuja, where he was appointed as the group's Special Adviser on Political Affairs.

He praised President Tinubu's early strides in governance and called on Nigerians, especially the younger generation, to unite in supporting the ongoing reforms to ensure the continuation of the current trajectory of governance. The young Obasanjo highlighted the country's advancements in areas like salary disbursements, infrastructure development, and investment prospects, urging the maintenance of these gains.

He expressed optimism that continued backing for the President would allow the Tinubu administration to build on its accomplishments and deliver further benefits to Nigerians. Olujuwon's family is known for permitting its members to have independent political perspectives and engage in their preferred political pursuits without animosity.

Earlier, during his visit, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Sunday Adekanbi, warmly welcomed Olujuwon into the movement. Adekanbi commended the young man's extensive political experience and governance acumen, expressing optimism that his skills in political mobilization would bolster the movement and further its objectives nationwide.
