Speaker of the House of Representatives Abbas Tajudeen, has urged the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement to campaign for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second term bid based on his administration’s performance statistics.
According to a statement by Musa Abdullahi Krishi, Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, the Speaker said this in Abuja when he hosted the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement led by its National Coordinator, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, on a courtesy visit to his office.
While declaring that it will be easy to sell the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate to Nigerians and secure well over 10 million votes for the President, Abbas stated that the re-election campaign will rest on facts and figures, showing how the Tinubu administration has made remarkable progress since taking over in 2023.
He cautioned that it will be a great disservice for Nigerians to vote for another presidential candidate after enduring the programmes and policies of the Tinubu administration, only for another President to reverse them.
With High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, as the Founder/Grand Patron, PBAT Door-to-Door Movement seeks to mobilise nationwide support and secure at least 10 million votes for President Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
Earlier, Comrade Asuku said the “thank you visit” was at the instance of Tompolo, to commend the Speaker for supporting the inauguration of the Movement.
While noting that the Movement is made up of organic supporters of President Tinubu, Asuku described the President as “a leader who is confronting our fears head-on.”
Stating that “this government has done well,” he said members of the Movement have taken it upon themselves and will stop at nothing to ensure electoral victory for President Tinubu.
Asuku, however, clarified that the Movement is not out to drive a parallel campaign leadership with the APC.
He said, “This Movement will stop at nothing until we can galvanise nothing less than 10 million votes from our own angle. We don’t really know what the APC as a party will bring, but at the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, we will at least beat our chest that, yes, we are mopping up nothing less than 10 million votes for Mr. President. This is because the APC under his leadership has done well.”
Present when the Speaker received the Movement were Majority Leader of the House, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere; Deputy Leader, Hon. Abdullahi Ibrahim Halims; Deputy Chief Whip, Hon. Ibrahim Ayokunle Isiaka; and Chairman, House Committee on South-South Development Commission, Hon. Julius Pondi.
