Adamu Gora Visits BAT Ideological Office, Pledges Support for Gombe Outreach
Former House of Representatives member, Rt. Hon. Adamu Gora Kalba, has pledged to support the Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT) Ideological Group with an office facility in Gombe State to strengthen its outreach and sensitization programmes.
Gora made the commitment during a courtesy visit to the BAT Ideological Office at Sokode Crescent, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, where he met with the group’s convener, Hon. Bamidele Atoyebi and secretary, Rotimi Oke.
The visit, held today 7th October, featured a robust discussion on mobilizing former lawmakers to support the BAT movement, many of whom were Gora’s colleagues in the National Assembly, as well as grassroots politicians who served during his tenure.
Gora, a longtime admirer of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu leadership style, commended the group’s initiative, describing it as a timely platform for political reorientation and public enlightenment.
He said the establishment of a BAT Ideological Office in Gombe would help deepen the president’s reform agenda in the region.
The former lawmaker, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), noted that Gombe South Senatorial District had been neglected for a long time but for the intervention of the president.
He expressed optimism that the renewed collaboration with the BAT Ideological Group would bring development closer to the people.
During the meeting, Gora also announced plans to sensitize residents of Gombe State on how to access and apply for the various federal government reform programmes, including the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) scheme, and the ongoing Dialysis Reform Initiative.
Hon. Bamidele however, mentioned that many rural dwellers and grassroots citizens may not have the digital literacy required to navigate online registration platforms for these programmes.
To address this challenge, Hon. Bamidele mentioned that the BAT Ideological Group would deploy volunteers across local communities to help residents complete registration and access the available benefits.
He reaffirmed the group’s commitment to promoting President Tinubu’s vision through civic education, community mobilization, and the inclusion of underserved populations in federal empowerment schemes.
