…Vows to Take Renewed Hope to Every Community
The Grassroots Movement for Tinubu (GMT), a political support group within the All Progressives Congress (APC), today inaugurated its Directorates and Deputy Directorates at its secretariat on Oduduwa Crescent, GRA, Ikeja.
Pioneer Chairman of Ayobo-Ipaja Local Council Development Area and three-term member of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. (Prince) Bisi Yusuff, was officially unveiled as the Director General of the organization.
The event, which drew notable APC stakeholders, including the Chief of Staff to the Lagos State Governor, Mr. Tayo Akinmade Ayinde, emphasized that the initiative was not a campaign rally but a strategic grassroots mobilization.
“Campaign hasn’t started yet because INEC has not declared that campaign should kick off. This is an underground movement to reach out to our people and seek engagement,” he clarified.
In a candid reflection on the 2023 elections, Ayinde decried the party’s failure to galvanize grassroots support, particularly in Lagos, which resulted in what he described as an “unprecedented defeat.”
“Buffalo,” as he’s fondly called, urged members to transform the disappointment of 2023 into renewed action ahead of 2027.
“We must be active and vocal in our support for Tinubu. The time for excuses is over. The only way to transform the pain of 2023 into the victory of 2027 is through relentless action, honest self-assessment, and a renewed focus on grassroots empowerment,” he said.
In his inaugural address, Hon. Bisi Yusuff declared the beginning of a new era of grassroots political engagement.
“Today is not just about inaugurating an organization. It is about igniting a people-driven revolution — a platform built on unity, inclusivity, and an unshakeable loyalty to the ideals of our leader, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR,” he said.
He outlined the GMT’s mission: to amplify President Tinubu’s achievements and take the message of renewed hope to every corner of Nigeria.
“We aim to mobilize robust support from the grassroots up — reaching youths, women, artisans, farmers, professionals, market men and women, traditional rulers, and religious leaders across every ethnic, tribal, and social line,” Yusuff stated.
He further emphasized that the movement would be anchored on strategy, truth, and consistent messaging to highlight the reforms of the Tinubu administration. “We are determined. We are ready. And we will succeed, In Shaa Allah,” he affirmed.
