BEING THE TEXT OF A PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY PASTOR OLUMIDE OBADELE, DIRECTOR GENERAL OF PROGRESSIVES NETWORK FOR TINUBU AT NUJ PRESS CENTRE ADEGBEMILE AKURE ONDO STATE ON SEPTEMBER 1ST, 2025
Protocols.
Good afternoon Gentlemen of the Press, welcome to this Press Conference and thank you for your time and presence.
Before I proceed, it is imperative for me to specially acknowledge the strategic and immeasurable support the Honourable Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo has given to this support group. His involvement at every stage is unquantifiable and we are greatly indebted to him.
With great joy and every sense of patriotism to our dear country-Nigeria, I stand before you today to announce the debut of Progressives Network for Tinubu – a support group saddled with the sole mandate of galvanizing support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR in the fast approaching 2027 Presidential Election. Please, note that this is not a campaign effort as we are well-informed that the Independent National Electoral Commission is yet to open the window for electioneering campaigns.
As a people with strong belief in party structure and respect for leadership, we have duly informed the Ondo State leadership of the All Progressives Congress through the State party Chairman – Engr Ade Adetimehin of our existence, as well as officially informed the office or the Executive Governor of Ondo State, Hon. Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa about our operations in the State.
Our conviction to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for a second term in office stemmed from his ability to bring Nigeria to a turning point in just 27 months in the saddle of leadership. His audacity to remove fuel subsidy and courage to float the naira among several other major policy decisions were characteristic of a leader with a clear definition of where he is going and knowing the path that leads there. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a trial and error leader, he knows his onions. As it stands today, we can say that a prosperous Nigeria that we have dreamt about for many years is no longer a dream as we have found in him a leader with the required capacity to take us to the Dreamland.
As a group, our approach embraces people from other parties and even those without any party affiliation but with strong belief and conviction in the re-election of President Tinubu. This is what informed the choice of Comrade Alfred Akinuli, a Governorship candidate of Action Alliance in the 2024 Governorship election in Ondo State and the current chairman of the party as the Deputy Director General of the group..
Our group is a blend of old and new politicians, regular and unconventional, veterans and newbies. This we believe will make a winning combination and serve as an impetus to reach our goals and attain our target. Our vision is clear and we are not in competition with anyone or groups. With the passage of time our work will speak for us as we traverse the length and breath of Ondo State preaching only one gospel – the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
While we acknowledge the existence of other sister support groups in the State, our modus operandi will be a little bit different.. Our operations will embrace modern technologies as we believe that politics is evolving, we shall reach our target audience faster ‘on feet’. We shall occupy the media space and keep the political clime in Ondo State busy.
On a final note, in 2023 Ondo State gave President Bola Ahmed Tinubu 67% of total votes cast which translated to the highest in the entire South West region, but in 2027, we shall work with the leadership of the party and other sister support groups to retain our South West ranking with nothing less than 80% of total votes.
To this end, I announce the official debut of our group – Progressives Network for Tinubu here in Ondo State.
Thank you for your time as I welcome reactions from you.
