Findings indicate that the mobilisation drive will span all 18 local government areas, with campaigners expected to operate within wards and polling units to canvass support and promote the administration’s policies.
The move aligns with ongoing efforts by various pro-Tinubu groups and stakeholders in the state who have consistently emphasised grassroots engagement as key to electoral success. Previous mobilisation drives have included commitments by political groups to deliver hundreds of thousands—and even millions—of votes for the president through coordinated local structures.
Political analysts say the deployment of such a large number of campaigners reflects a deliberate attempt to build a strong voter base early, especially in a politically strategic state like Ondo.
They note that grassroots mobilisation—through community meetings, local influencers, and door-to-door engagement—remains one of the most effective tools in Nigerian electoral politics.
The development also signals the early intensification of political activities as parties and support groups begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections.
