The Special Adviser to the Ondo State Governor on Youth and Social Inclusion, Henry Okunomo, has begun mobilising youths to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.

He said his target is 800,000 youths across the state. He made the disclosure in a statement issued on Thursday.

Okunomo said the mobilisation will cover all 18 local government areas of Ondo State. He said youths will take part in activities supporting Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election. He said the work has already started.

He said Ondo youths are ready to show political commitment through massive mobilisation, active participation and sustained engagement. He said they will support Tinubu and the ideals of democratic governance. He said the target is achievable.

He commended Tinubu’s administration for its policies and youth inclusion initiatives. He also commended Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, describing his leadership as youth friendly. He praised the governor’s commitment to youth inclusion.

He said his office will continue to promote youth engagement, political participation and inclusion. The move aligns with the state’s wider target of one million votes for Tinubu. Governor Aiyedatiwa had earlier directed his aides to deliver one million votes in 2027.

The mobilisation is part of early preparations for the 2027 general election. It signals the APC’s push to consolidate youth support in Ondo.
