Olujuwon (often spelled Olujunwon) Obasanjo, son of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, has been appointed special adviser on political affairs to the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement. The movement says it is mobilising support for President Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election. Obasanjo tells the movement that his role is an honour and that he is ready to contribute to Tinubu’s re-election effort.

In Abuja, Obasanjo frames his backing around the idea that Tinubu’s administration has begun on a strong note and that reforms should be supported for continuity. He points to areas the administration has reportedly made progress in, including salary payments, infrastructure development and investment opportunities, and he says young people should back ongoing reforms.

Across outlets, coverage focuses on the appointment and the pledge to support Tinubu. Premium Times and Punch both present the same core development—Obasanjo’s son joining the movement and backing Tinubu for 2027—while Nigeria Eye adds more detail about his comments on reforms and his explanation that his family has members with political differences.
