The President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) Door-to-Door Movement on Thursday inaugurated its national executives in Abuja, with prominent political leaders, traditional rulers, and stakeholders urging Nigerians to support the administration’s reform agenda.
The movement, founded by Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo,
popularly known as Tompolo, said the inauguration forms part of efforts to
deepen grassroots mobilisation and promote civic participation across the
country.
Among dignitaries at the event were Senate President
Godswill Akpabio; Speaker of the House of Representatives Tajudeen Abbas;
Governors Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, Agbu Kefas of Taraba, Caleb Mutfwang of
Plateau, and Umar Bago of Niger; the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi;
former Katsina governor Aminu Bello Masari; former Niger Delta militant leader
Asari Dokubo; and APC national chairman Nentawe Yilwatda.
A documentary titled ‘The Journey So Far for the
Door-to-Door Movement’ was screened during the ceremony, highlighting the
activities and growth of the organisation.
Addressing participants, Akpabio said difficult but
necessary reforms were essential for national progress.
“Nations do not become great because they avoid difficult
decisions; they become great because they confront decisions with wisdom,
patience and patriotism. Lasting progress is rarely achieved without temporary
sacrifice,” the senate president said.
Abbas defended the Tinubu administration’s economic reforms,
describing them as bold decisions taken with the country’s long-term interest
in mind.
“History will remember President Tinubu for his courage. He
met a nation at a crossroads. He chose conviction over convenience: fuel
subsidy removed, exchange rate unified, a new tax system built from the ground
up. They were decisions taken for posterity. The road has demanded sacrifice,
and we do not take that sacrifice lightly,” the speaker said.
The Ooni of Ife said the administration’s policies were
repositioning the Nigerian economy, citing developments in the capital market
and foreign reserves.
Delivering the keynote lecture, Professor Bashir Makarfi of
Bayero University, Kano, said reforms introduced by the Tinubu administration
were beginning to yield results.
“The fact is too visible to be denied that Nigeria is
undergoing a transformation under Bola Tinubu,” he said.
Speaking on the economy, Aminu Bello Masari, former governor
of Katsina state, said inflationary pressures were gradually easing while
investor confidence was improving.
The managing director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria
Limited, Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi, described Tinubu as a symbol of purposeful
leadership and urged Nigerians to remain united behind the administration.
“With unity, resilience and determination, Nigeria will get
to the promised land,” Pondi said.
President Bola Tinubu followed the inauguration live from
the State House in Abuja, alongside Nuhu Ribadu, the national security adviser.
