The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, a socio-political grassroots campaign mobilising nationwide support and securing votes for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, will, today (Thursday, 9 July), inaugurate its national executive members.
The event is scheduled to be held at Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja.
Businessman Government Ekpemupolo, who founded and sponsors the movement, said in a statement on Tuesday that the inauguration is part of efforts to deepen grassroots mobilisation and promote civic participation across the country.
Mr Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, said the economic and structural reforms the Tinubu administration is undertaking are beginning to yield benefits, as evidenced by increased foreign investment, growth in the Nigerian capital market, and improved fiscal autonomy for sub-national governments, among others.
He described the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as a nationwide grassroots platform aimed at promoting national development and supporting the federal government’s Renewed Hope agenda through community engagement and democratic participation.

The movement, which primarily engages communities, households, and ordinary Nigerians directly, relies on local volunteers.
It also emphasises women and youth empowerment programmes as a central tenet of its community outreach.
According to Mr Ekpemupolo, the inauguration of the movement’s national executive is expected to bring together political leaders, community representatives, stakeholders and other Nigerians to strengthen grassroots mobilisation across the country.
