Obasanjo son gets appointment under Tinubu
Olujuwon Obasanjo, son of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, has been appointed Special Adviser on Political Affairs to the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, a group mobilizing support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.
Olujuwon announced his support for Tinubu during a visit to the movement’s headquarters in Abuja on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, where he was received by the group’s National Coordinator, Sunday Adekanbi Asuku.
The appointment comes as political groups begin preparations for the 2027 general elections, with supporters of the president intensifying efforts to mobilise voters across the country.
Speaking during the visit, the younger Obasanjo described his appointment as an honour and privilege.
He commended the movement for its grassroots activities, community outreach and efforts to promote the programmes and achievements of the Tinubu administration.
He also disclosed that he had been following the group’s activities and was impressed by its work, adding that he was ready to contribute his political experience towards achieving its objectives.
Olujuwon expressed support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition, saying Nigerians, particularly young people, should support the administration’s ongoing reforms.
He identified salary payments, infrastructure development and investment opportunities as some of the areas where Nigeria had recorded progress under the current administration.
The former president’s son also expressed confidence that continued support for Tinubu would enable the government to build on its achievements.
He further disclosed that he had been a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) since 2014.
Addressing the political differences within his family, Olujuwon explained that members of the Obasanjo family were allowed to hold independent political views and pursue their political interests without hostility.
