TINUBU TORCH BEARERS INAUGURATED IN ONDO AS AIYEDATIWA CALLS FOR GRASSROOTS ENGAGEMENT


The Ondo State chapter of the Tinubu Torch Bearers (TTB) has been inaugurated in Akure, with Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa urging members of the group to intensify grassroots engagement and take the message of the Renewed Hope administration to communities across the state.

Governor Aiyedatiwa, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr Olayide Adelami, gave the charge on Tuesday during the inauguration of the organisation held at The Dome, Akure.

According to a statement issued by the Deputy Governor’s spokesperson, John Paul Akinduro, the governor reaffirmed the support of his administration for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for another term in office in the 2027 general elections.

Aiyedatiwa said, according to the statement, that continuity would be important for consolidating the reforms and programmes of the Federal Government.

He also stated that Ondo State had benefited from its collaboration with the Federal Government through various policies and interventions which, he said, complement the development efforts of the state.

The governor urged members of the group and other All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders to strengthen their engagement with residents at the grassroots, including through direct interactions with communities.

While highlighting the economic conditions inherited by the Tinubu administration in 2023, Aiyedatiwa referenced fiscal pressures, declining revenues, exchange-rate challenges, debt-servicing obligations and energy-related constraints as issues confronting the Federal Government at the time.

He said the administration had subsequently introduced economic reforms aimed at repositioning the Nigerian economy.

The governor also cited federal infrastructure interventions in areas such as road construction, rail transportation, bridges and power as part of the projects being undertaken by the Federal Government.

Aiyedatiwa commended the APC National Women Leader and coordinator of the Tinubu Torch Bearers, Dr Mary Alile Idele, for her efforts towards grassroots mobilisation and engagement.

Speaking at the event, the wife of the governor, Mrs Oluwaseun Aiyedatiwa, acknowledged the role of the initiative in mobilising women across Ondo State.

She assured women of continued attention to issues relating to empowerment and welfare, while also commending initiatives of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, focused on women and young people.

The APC National Women Leader, Dr Mary Alile Idele, said the inauguration was aimed at strengthening grassroots engagement and expanding awareness of the Renewed Hope agenda.

She encouraged members of the group to take the message to communities across the state while promoting grassroots participation and voter education ahead of the 2027 elections.

The event also featured the presentation of cheques and empowerment items to selected women.

Among those present were the wife of the Deputy Governor, Dr Abosede Adelami; Ondo State APC Chairman, Hon. Babatunde Kolawole; Commissioner for Women Affairs and Social Development, Dr Seun Osemaye; Mrs Jumoke Ajasin Anifowose; and former Commissioner for Women Affairs, Dr Yemi Mahmoud, alongside other party leaders and stakeholders.
