BAT Vanguard has pledged to deliver no fewer than 10 million votes for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.
This even as it disclosed plans to roll out targeted social assistance programmes in 2026, to support over 50,000 vulnerable households nationwide with food items, school materials, and basic welfare support.
The Chairman, Board of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), and National Convener, BAT Vanguard, Hon. Sola Olofin, made the pledge during the Group’s End-of-Year Party & Special Recognition Awards, with the theme “Standing Firm for Renewed Hope: The BAT Vanguard Mandate,” held in Abuja.
Olofin said: “As we look ahead to 2026, BAT Vanguard is repositioning itself not just as a campaign structure, but as a governance-support institution.
“We are set to embark on a structured monitoring and evaluation engagement across key Ministries, Departments, and Agencies to support compliance with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
“This is not to antagonize any appointee, but to strengthen delivery, accountability, and citizen confidence.
“In addition, BAT Vanguard is launching a major national social investment initiative inspired by the Renewed Hope vision.
“This initiative reflects our belief that politics must touch lives, and that support for government must be felt by ordinary Nigerians in practical ways.
“As we move toward 2027, our objective is clear and measurable: to mobilize and deliver no fewer than 10 million votes for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We are expanding, re-energizing, and strengthening our structures to make this vision a reality,” he said.
Olofin sincerely appreciated President Tinubu for the confidence reposed in as the Chairman of the Management Board of the NSITF.
“It is a responsibility I carry with humility and seriousness. Since assuming office, we have prioritized digital transformation, improved governance, and institutional reforms aimed at restoring public trust and confidence in Nigeria Social Security architecture.
“Our vision is to ensure a more robust and safety net for Nigerian workers as it is top in Mr President’s renewed Hope Agenda,” he added.
According to him, the end-of-year celebration was a moment of reflection, gratitude, and renewed commitment.
“It is a reminder of who we are as a movement and the responsibility we carry as the strongest, most organized, and most reliable support structure of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he noted.
