The Grassroot Movement for Tinubu 2027 (GMT 2027) took its advocacy train to Lagos Mainland Local Government on Thursday, 25th of September, beginning the visit with a courtesy call to the Oloto of Oto-Mainland, Oba Bashir Abisoye Oloto, to receive royal blessings and community support.

The visit marks a significant phase in the group’s ongoing efforts to build grassroots awareness and preach the Renewed Hope Agenda and achievement President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Speaking during the visit, Princess Samiat Bada, Mayoress of Ikosi-Isheri LCDA and Director of Local Government Affairs for GMT 2027, outlined the purpose of the delegation’s presence in the area.

“Kabiyesi, our purpose in Lagos Mainland is to preach the gospel of President Tinubu’s administration – to highlight what he has achieved so far and to seek your support for this movement. As a respected traditional ruler and known supporter of President Tinubu, we know we are in the right place,” she said.



Princess Bada emphasized the importance of youth participation in the electoral process, calling on residents especially those who have just turned 18 to register for their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) in preparation for the 2027 elections.

“We urge every parent and guardian to encourage their children who have turned 18 to go and get their PVCs. This is critical as we prepare to re-elect President Tinubu in 2027,” she added.



The Director of Local Government Affairs also highlighted key achievements of the Tinubu administration, noting that his policies continue to address critical national challenges.

“President Tinubu is a man committed to the transformation of Nigeria. He knows where the shoe pinches the masses. From the Student Loan Scheme to Agricultural Support Programs and Tax Reforms these are not just policies, they are lifelines,” she said.



She also referenced the recent presidential approval to repay another national loan, describing it as a strategic move to reduce the country’s debt burden and stabilize the economy.

The Oloto of Oto-Mainland, Oba Bashir Abisoye Oloto, praised the GMT team for their strategic engagement within Lagos State, noting their efforts to raise awareness and support for the Tinubu-led administration.

“It’s a timely visit, and they are absolutely doing well by going round Lagos State to preach the gospel of the administration of President Tinubu. It’s a good initiative that connects directly with the people at the grassroots,” Oba Oloto stated.

He emphasized that President Tinubu’s leadership is deeply rooted in grassroots politics and people-oriented governance. “He has always been a grassroots person, even before becoming president. He is a strong democrat and a true lover of the masses,” he said.

The Oloto further described Tinubu as a long-time advocate for the vulnerable. “He has always stood by the vulnerable. He’s a provider, a responsible leader who continues to prioritize the needs of the common man,” he added.

Commenting on the economic direction of the country, Oba Oloto acknowledged the administration’s efforts in stabilizing inflation and rebuilding the economy. He urged Nigerians to remain patient and supportive.

“The inflation rate has started to drop. What is needed now are sound and sustainable policies to keep the economy stable. My advice to Nigerians is to exercise patience. This government is doing an immense job,” he said.

He also cautioned citizens against being misled by opposition voices, accusing them of acting out of political frustration.

“Nigerians should not allow the opposition to deceive them. They don’t have tangible solutions; they are simply bitter about losing power. This administration is focused on delivering for the masses,” he declared.

Oba Oloto concluded with a call for continued support of President Tinubu, especially as the 2027 elections approach: “Come 2027, Nigerians should vote massively for him. This government means well for the people.”

He noted that the drive to get eligible residents registered for their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) is already well underway across the area.

“In Lagos Mainland, we have already been very active on PVC registration. The drive has been ongoing across all wards, and it has become part of our daily activities. People are turning up in large numbers to register,” he said.



He emphasized the importance of voter awareness and participation, adding that the local government is working closely with community leaders and stakeholders to sustain the momentum and ensure that newly eligible voters especially those turning 18 are not left out.
