Sunday Dare Group Leads Ogbomoso Mobilisation Drive as Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election Campaign Gathers Momentum
By Joel Ajayi
Ogbomoso, a major political centre in Oyo State, witnessed a fresh wave of political mobilisation as the Sunday Dare Group (SDG) took its campaign message to the grassroots, rallying residents and All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s second-term ambition ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The rally, held on Thursday at the Ọba Ghandi Civic Centre, Ogbomoso, brought together party leaders, political stakeholders, candidates, members and supporters from Ogbomoso North, Ogbomoso South, Oriire, Surulere and Ogo-Oluwa local government areas.
Organised by the Sunday Dare Group, the gathering was part of its grassroots mobilisation efforts in support of the Tinubu L’ẹ̀kan Si campaign, while also promoting the 2027 political aspirations of Alli and Soji.
At the centre of the mobilisation was the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Public Communications, Chief Sunday Dare, who used the occasion to engage the people on the policies, programmes and achievements of the Tinubu administration.
Dare, the convener of the grassroots campaign mobilisation initiative, highlighted the Renewed Hope Agenda, drawing attention to government interventions in education, healthcare, economic empowerment, social investment, agriculture, security and infrastructure development.
He also referenced ongoing efforts in road construction and housing, stressing the importance of communicating the administration’s programmes and their impact on communities across Ogbomoso, Oyo State and the country.
The presidential aide urged residents and APC supporters to sustain their engagement with the administration and support Tinubu’s re-election bid for a second term spanning 2027 to 2031.
Beyond the political messages and campaign speeches, the rally featured humanitarian and empowerment interventions, giving the gathering a community-focused dimension.
One of the major highlights was the distribution of palliatives to 1,000 Ogbomoso indigenes, alongside empowerment initiatives designed to support beneficiaries and party faithful.
The intervention provided an opportunity for the organisers to combine political engagement with direct assistance to residents, particularly at a time when economic concerns and the need for grassroots support remain important issues for many households.
For the organisers, the gathering was also an avenue to strengthen political connections, deepen community participation and bring the message of the Renewed Hope Agenda closer to the people.
The presence of APC leaders, stalwarts, candidates and supporters from the five participating local government areas reflected the broad political reach of the mobilisation exercise.
From Ogbomoso North and South to Oriire, Surulere and Ogo-Oluwa, party faithful gathered under one platform to demonstrate their involvement in the emerging political conversations ahead of 2027.
As political activities gradually gather momentum towards the next general elections, the Ogbomoso rally represents another effort by political stakeholders to engage voters at the grassroots, communicate their political agenda and build support ahead of the electoral contest.
With Dare leading the mobilisation, the SDG is seeking to make Ogbomoso an important platform for its campaign activities in support of Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
