Pastor Reuben C. Wilson Rallies Grassroots Support for Tinubu, Showcases Mobilisation Capacity Ahead of 2027


TVAFRICA24NEWS— As political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, prominent Niger Delta leader and South-South Leader of the P-BAT Door-to-Door Movement, Chief pastor Reuben Wilson, has intensified grassroots mobilisation in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, further demonstrating the political capacity that made him one of the region's notable campaign mobilisers in the 2023 presidential election.


Wilson, who is widely known across the Niger Delta as Pastor Reuben, has continued to lead community-based campaigns aimed at taking the message of the Tinubu administration directly to the people through the P-BAT Door-to-Door initiative. The campaign focuses on engaging residents at the grassroots, highlighting the administration's policies, achievements, and vision while encouraging broader public participation and support.


Political stakeholders says Wilson's latest mobilisation drive is a reflection of the organisational strength and grassroots network he has built over the years, describing him as one of the APC's most effective mobilisers in the South-South region.


During the 2023 general elections, Pastor Reuben who is the founder of pastor Reuben initiative for Good leadership and accountability played a significant role in galvanising support for the Tinubu/Shettima presidential ticket across parts of the Niger Delta through sustained consultations with community leaders, youth groups, women, political stakeholders, and grassroots supporters. His mobilisation efforts contributed to expanding the party's visibility and strengthening its structures at the ward and community levels.


Building on that experience, the South-South Leader of the P-BAT Door-to-Door Movement has now embarked on a renewed campaign designed to consolidate support for President Tinubu ahead of 2027. The initiative seeks to deepen engagement with ordinary Nigerians by taking political communication beyond rallies and into homes and communities.


Speaking during one of the mobilisation exercises, Pastor Reuben said lasting political success is built on consistent interaction with the people, stressing that grassroots engagement remains the foundation of democratic participation and sustainable development.


He noted that the objective of the campaign is to ensure that every household is adequately informed about the programmes, reforms, and developmental agenda of the Tinubu administration while encouraging citizens to remain active participants in the nation's democratic process.


Supporters have described the initiative as another demonstration of Pastor Reuben's proven capacity to organise, mobilise, and inspire people at the grassroots, noting that his leadership continues to strengthen the APC's presence across the South-South.


P-BAT Door-to-Door is Coming to Your Doorstep," the movement is expected to expand into more communities across the region in the coming months as preparations gradually begin for the 2027 electoral cycle.

Ex-Agitators Disown Pro-ADC, Amaechi Group, Deny Bomadi Endorsement Meeting



The leadership of the Ex-Agitators Leaders Forum for Phases One, Two and Three of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP) has distanced itself from a group that claimed to have endorsed the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential ticket, describing its members as impersonators with no link to the recognised ex-agitator leadership.


The forum also dismissed claims that an emergency meeting of ex-agitators was held in Bomadi, Delta State, insisting that no such gathering took place anywhere in the Niger Delta.


Addressing journalists in Yenagoa through a statement jointly signed by the National Chairman of Phase Two and Chairman of the Ex-Agitators Leaders Forum, Ibena Rufus Salvation, National Chairman of Phase One, Aroni Oputu, and National Chairman of Phase Three, Elaye Slaboh, the leaders urged the public to disregard the publication circulating on social media.


The reaction followed a report credited to the "Ex-Niger Delta Agitators Forum for ADC," which claimed that ex-agitators had endorsed the alleged vice-presidential nomination of former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, and pledged support for the ADC ahead of the 2027 general election.


The recognised ex-agitator leaders described the publication as false and misleading, stressing that the group behind it does not represent beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.


Speaking on behalf of the leadership and beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Ibena maintained that only the Presidential Amnesty Programme Administrator, Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, has the authority to give directives to recognised ex-agitators and beneficiaries whenever the need arises.


He said the leadership of the forum remains loyal to the current PAP administration and would only take instructions from the programme's administrator.


He further stated that the individual identified as Ojuemi Oweikeme, who signed the earlier statement as National Chairman of the purported ADC ex-agitators forum, is neither an ex-agitator nor a beneficiary or leader in any of the three recognised phases of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.


Ibena advised Oweikeme to stop parading himself as a leader of ex-agitators.


"Ojuemi Oweikeme is not an ex-agitator, nor a beneficiary or leader in any of the three phases. If at all he exists, he should go and look for an NGO he can join," he said.


He described members of the group as "impersonators who have no capacity in any way," adding that such individuals were known even during the days of armed struggle in the creeks.


"We were aware of such impersonators when we were still in the creek during the struggle, but now we are all visible and the era of impersonation with individuals' and groups' names is over," Ibena stated.


He also singled out one Ezekiel Perela, describing him as the only familiar name among those listed in the publication but alleging that he has a questionable character.


He called on security agencies to closely monitor the activities of the group, alleging that its members could be planning to cause problems in the Niger Delta region.


The Ex-Agitators forum leader equally cautioned the leadership of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its candidates to be vigilant and avoid dealings with the group.


"They are impersonators who have no capacity in any way. We advise the leadership of the ADC and its candidates to be aware of these characters so they do not become victims of fraud," he added.


Ibena also commended the Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Chief Dr. Dennis Brutu Otuaro, for what he described as his outstanding performance within a short period in office, particularly the ongoing reintegration exercise for ex-agitators both within Nigeria and abroad.


According to him, the reintegration programme is a clear demonstration of the administrator's commitment to the welfare and future of beneficiaries.


Ibena added that the administrator's efforts were rooted in a deep understanding of the Niger Delta struggle and the challenges faced by former agitators and expressed appreciation to Otuaro for his stewardship of the programme.


He reaffirmed that the recognised leadership of ex-agitators remains united and urged members of the public to ignore any political statements issued by unauthorised persons in the name of ex-agitators or beneficiaries of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.

Hon. Sunny Aguebor Bibi JP, NDC Candidate for Edo South Senatorial District, Calls for Calm, Unity and Faith in the Legal Process Amid Recent Court Developments


Issued by Dr Daniel Moses

Chief Strategist

Bibi for Senate 2027


29 June 2026


At this critical moment, Hon. Sunny Aguebor Bibi JP wishes to reassure the good people of Edo South, party faithful, supporters, coordinators, volunteers and stakeholders that there is no reason for panic.


Nigeria remains a constitutional democracy. It must never be reduced to a one party state. Our democracy becomes stronger when political participation is protected, institutions are respected, and the rights of citizens to associate, organise and contest elections are preserved under the law.


The matter is now within the legal and constitutional process. The national leadership of our great party has already made its position clear, and the appropriate legal steps are being taken through the proper channels.


As democrats, we respect the judiciary. We also believe firmly that democracy is strengthened when the rule of law is allowed to take its full course without fear, intimidation, misinformation or unnecessary provocation.


Hon. Sunny Aguebor Bibi JP remains focused, calm and resolute. His commitment to Edo South has not changed. His mission remains the same: to provide purposeful, courageous and people centred representation for our senatorial district and Nigeria at large.


We remain confident that our Presidential Candidate, Vice Presidential Candidate and all other candidates flying the flag of our great party represent a genuine call to service, responsible leadership and a better future for Nigeria.


No political interest should seek to weaken democratic choice or silence the voice of the people. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians, and no force can turn our nation into a one party country.


We therefore call on all our supporters across Oredo, Egor, Ikpoba Okha, Ovia North East, Ovia South West, Orhionmwon and Uhunmwonde to remain peaceful, law abiding and disciplined.


This is the time for unity, vigilance, organisation and faith in the process.


We urge all campaign structures, support groups, ward coordinators, youth leaders, women leaders and community ambassadors to continue with lawful voter education, community engagement and grassroots mobilisation while awaiting further direction from the national leadership of the party.


Hon. Sunny Aguebor Bibi JP believes that Edo South deserves stability, maturity and responsible leadership. At every stage, we shall continue to act with wisdom, restraint and confidence.


The mandate of the people cannot be silenced by temporary legal turbulence. Our faith remains strong. Our structure remains intact. Our vision remains alive.


Edo South must rise.


Nigeria must rise.


Signed:

Dr Daniel Moses

Chief Strategist
