President Bola Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media and Public Communication, Sunday Dare, has organised a grassroots mobilisation and empowerment programme in Ogbomoso, Oyo State, as part of efforts to build support for the President’s re-election bid in 2027.
The event, held on Thursday, brought together residents, community leaders and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from across the Ogbomoso zone.
The programme featured the distribution of food items, business equipment and the inauguration of a classroom block, alongside political discussions focused on the Tinubu administration’s policies and projects.
Over 1,000 Bags of Food Distributed
As part of the empowerment initiative, organisers distributed more than 1,000 bags of foodstuffs containing spaghetti, semovita and other household essentials to residents.
Selected beneficiaries also received generators for vulcanising businesses, grinding machines and sewing machines to support their businesses and improve their sources of income.
The initiative combined immediate food assistance with equipment aimed at helping small business owners and artisans sustain their livelihoods.
New Classrooms Commissioned
The programme also included the inauguration of a three-classroom block at Maryland Primary School, located within the premises of Ogbomoso Girls’ High School.
The project is expected to provide additional learning space for pupils and improve teaching and learning conditions at the school.
Dare Seeks Support for Tinubu Ahead of 2027
Addressing APC supporters at the gathering, Dare highlighted some of the Federal Government’s policies, reforms and infrastructure projects, including the Ibadan-Ogbomoso road project.
He urged eligible voters to obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and participate in the electoral process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Dare also called on residents to support President Tinubu, Senator Sharafadeen Alli and other APC candidates in the forthcoming elections.
The event was attended by several political figures, including former Oyo State Deputy Governor Rauf Olaniyan, Olusegun Odebunmi, Senator Yusuf Brimmo, Olamijuwa Alao-Akala and Hannah Ogunesan, among other party leaders and supporters.
The Ogbomoso gathering formed part of grassroots political mobilisation activities ahead of the 2027 elections, combining campaign engagement with food distribution, small-business support and an educational infrastructure project.
