PBAT Door-2-Door movement congratulates new APC chairman, Yilwatda

…vows to mobilise 10m votes for Tinubu in 2027

A pro-Tinubu socio-political group, the PBAT Door-2-Door Movement, has congratulated Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda following his recent appointment as chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This is just as the group, which focuses on grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s leadership, pledged strong support for his re-election bid in 2027.

In a statement, the movement described Yilwatda’s appointment as a sign of the party’s commitment to its core values and future electoral success.

The group also highlighted Yilwatda’s background as an academic, humanitarian, and administrator, saying it would bolster the APC’s structures.

“We pledge our absolute allegiance to the new APC chairman and assure him of our unwavering, rock-solid support in all endeavours to advance the progressive agenda,” the statement signed by the National Chairman, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi, read.

The group, under the patronage of High Chief (Dr.) Government Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, said it stands ready to collaborate with APC leadership to advance Tinubu’s “Renewed Hope Agenda.” and outlined ambitious plans to secure at least 10 million votes for the president in the upcoming elections through a series of initiatives.

The plan includes deploying volunteers for door-to-door campaigns in all 774 local government areas, conducting voter education on Tinubu’s achievements, organising town hall meetings and rallies, and leveraging media platforms to promote the campaign message and combat misinformation.

The movement also plans targeted programmes for youth and women empowerment, data-driven strategies, and partnerships with traditional leaders, religious groups, and civil society organisations.

The statement emphasised Tinubu’s accomplishments in his first two years in office, crediting him with doubling government revenues to over N9.1 trillion, reducing debt service costs from 97% to 68% of revenue, and clearing substantial arrears.

It noted economic reforms that addressed over $10 billion in foreign exchange liabilities, created 240,000 jobs through MSME support, and introduced a new national minimum wage.

Additional highlights included tax reforms boosting Federal Inland Revenue Service collections to N21.3 trillion, increased customs revenues, and international efforts as ECOWAS chair to promote regional stability.

The group also pointed to the Presidential Loan and Grant Scheme benefiting over 900,000 Nigerians, particularly youth.

“Our unyielding support for President Bola Tinubu is rooted in his extraordinary achievements, which have already begun to steer Nigeria toward prosperity despite inherited challenges,” Adekanbi said in the statement while rejecting what it called “baseless criticism” of the administration.
