The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement 2027, Sagbama Constituency I, has stepped up preparations for its planned grassroots outreach, holding a strategic meeting with representatives of the six communities that make up the constituency to discuss coordination, community participation and plans for direct engagement with residents ahead of the 2027 elections.
The meeting brought together Collins Okpako, Denyefa Akpe, Ezougha Onitsha, Ayamowei Ebipakemi, Bekeowei Ecko and Philomina Bekeowei, representing the six constituent communities.
Briefing newsmen after the meeting, the Constituency I Coordinator, Chief (Amb.) Jackson Jacko-Embale said the gathering was part of deliberate efforts to put the necessary structure in place before the movement begins its planned community outreach.
He explained that the Door-to-Door initiative was designed to take engagement beyond conventional political gatherings by establishing direct contact with communities, listening to residents and creating opportunities for meaningful interaction at the grassroots.
According to him, effective mobilisation requires proper coordination, teamwork and the involvement of people who understand their respective communities. He noted that the meeting provided an opportunity to exchange ideas, clarify expectations and discuss practical approaches to implementing the movement’s activities across the constituency to deliver the Constituency for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election.
Chief Jacko-Embale added that the participation of representatives from all six communities was significant to the planning process, as the proposed outreach would require cooperation and effective communication at the community level.
Speaking on behalf of the representatives, Collins Okpako said the meeting provided a useful platform for the delegation to understand the movement’s plans and discuss how the communities could participate in the forthcoming engagements.
He noted that direct interaction with residents would provide an opportunity to communicate the movement’s message, encourage participation and strengthen contact between the organisers and the people. He also stressed the importance of sustained communication and cooperation as preparations progress.
The meeting represents an early organisational step towards the planned constituency-wide outreach, with attention focused on building a coordinated grassroots network capable of reaching communities directly.
As preparations continue, the movement says its immediate priority is to translate the discussions into practical arrangements for community engagement across Sagbama Constituency 1.
