A pro-Tinubu support group in Ondo State, under the banner of \u201cTinubu Datiwa,\u201d has organised a massive solidarity health walk in support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s 2027 re-election bid, with participants turning out in large numbers for the event tagged \u201cTinubu Datiwa Half a Million Man Walk 2027.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The walk, which commenced at the Government House in Akure and terminated at the State Stadium, featured road walks and aerobic exercises. Participants were drawn from across the 18 local government areas of the state, including government officials, civil servants, artisans, security personnel, and youths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addressing participants, Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, who led the walk, hinted at the possible reinstatement of some recently disengaged political aides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would be recalled that the governor had, on March 30, approved the immediate disengagement of all political aides as part of efforts to reposition his administration for improved efficiency and service delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aiyedatiwa commended the presence of the former aides at the event despite their recent disengagement, describing their turnout as a demonstration of loyalty and commitment to his administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am happy many of the aides are here. This shows loyalty, even though all the SSAs have been relieved. Many of you will still find your way back into government,\u201d the governor stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that the health walk was one of several initiatives by pro-Tinubu support groups aimed at mobilising grassroots support across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis walk was put together by one of the support groups here in Ondo State for the re-election of our President, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is one of many activities lined up to mobilise support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor also highlighted the scale of participation at the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can see the number of people that are here. It is a half-a-million-man walk for Ashiwaju,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emphasising the importance of grassroots mobilisation, Aiyedatiwa urged participants to return to their respective wards and local government areas to sustain the momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe main work is at the unit, ward, and local government levels. I have advised them to go back and continue the mobilisation. By February 2027, we will deliver nothing less than one million votes,\u201d he assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the political significance of the event, the governor stressed the importance of physical well-being, encouraging residents to adopt regular exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHealth is wealth. We must keep fit physically, mentally, and spiritually\u2014for the task ahead,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier, the Coordinator of the walk and Immediate Past Senior Special Adviser to the Governor on Sports, Kehinde Akinrotoye Bonsue, noted that the initiative was aimed at demonstrating strong support for President Tinubu while engaging youths across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis Half a Million Man Walk is a testament to the trust and confidence we have in President Tinubu\u2019s leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda,\u201d Bonsue said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that over 500,000 youths participated in the exercise and expressed optimism that more young people would be reintegrated into governance under the Aiyedatiwa administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
