The Asiwaju Mandate Group (AMG) has secured a major boost in its grassroots mobilisation drive following a strategic meeting with a conglomeration of artisan associations across Ondo State.
The meeting, which was held under the leadership of the Director General of AMG, Asiwaju Muyiwa Asagunla, brought together key representatives of various artisan bodies led by Hon. Daisi Komolafe, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Ondo State on Artisan Matters and Coordinator of the Association of Nigeria Artisans and Technicians (ASNAT), Ondo State Chapter.
Also in attendance were Mr. Ismaila Akorede, Chairman of the Licensed Electrical Contractors Association of Nigeria (LECAN), Ondo State Chapter; Mr. Shitu Kehinde, Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Union of Tailors (NUT), Ondo State Chapter; Prince Oyesola, President of the NUT and Secretary of ASNAT; and Comrade Ife Morgan, Real Estate Manager, Akure South Local Government Area.
In his opening remarks, Asagunla welcomed the delegation and provided a brief history of the AMG, describing it as a movement birthed by the Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo (BTO), to promote the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
“The Renewed Hope Agenda is the bedrock of Nigeria’s transformation, aimed at restoring confidence and creating opportunities for both present and future generations, and Dr. Tunji-Ojo remains a key driver of this vision, and he is uniquely endowed with the knowledge and capacity to actualise a new Nigeria,” he said.
Speaking on behalf of the visiting artisans, Hon. Komolafe expressed their readiness to key into the sensitisation drive of AMG, stressing that their support was not just symbolic but backed by a solid grassroots base.
He disclosed that the artisan movement is representing over 367,000 supporters across Ondo State, all of whom are ready to work for the success of President Tinubu’s administration and his re-election bid in 2027.
Komolafe further praised Dr. Tunji-Ojo, whom he described as a “wonder-boy” transforming the Ministry of Interior. He also applauded President Tinubu for positioning Ondo indigenes in strategic places, citing the appointment of Adesina Akinyemi from Ondo town as National Coordinator of the Industrial Training Fund (ITF).
“Our conviction to support Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is unshakable. What we are witnessing today in terms of transformation and restoration of hope is second to none. The artisans are committed to going beyond Ondo State to spread this message.” Komolafe declared.
As part of the outcome of the meeting, the artisan groups announced the appointment of coordinators across the three senatorial districts of Ondo State to strengthen mobilisation structures. Prince Oyesola, North Senatorial District, Comrade Ife Morgan, Central Senatorial District; Mr. Ismaila Akorede, South Senatorial District.
