The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, has fixed November 14, 2026, for the formal inauguration of a political support group, As Tinubu and Mbah Move (ATM), established to mobilise support for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu and Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah in 2027.
The inauguration, scheduled for 10am at the Multipurpose Hall of the International Conference Centre, Enugu, will also witness the unveiling of the group’s national, state, zonal, local government and ward executives.
First Lady Oluremi Tinubu and prominent businessman and philanthropist, Prince Arthur Eze, are among the high-profile personalities expected at the event, while Governor Mbah will serve as the Chief Host.
The gathering is also expected to attract political leaders, government officials, All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders and supporters from across the country.
The movement, convened by Udeh, is designed to build a grassroots mobilisation network for Tinubu and Mbah ahead of the 2027 general elections.
As part of preparations, the minister had earlier unveiled 17 branded buses to support the group’s mobilisation activities across communities, wards and polling units.
Speaking at a strategy meeting ahead of the inauguration, Udeh urged members to make the movement result-oriented, stressing that its activities must go beyond political gatherings and publicity.
“I want this group to be different so that it will not end in noise-making. The aim is to make APC win from top to bottom, especially the President and the Governor,” he said.
He emphasised the importance of grassroots participation, insisting that electoral success would depend largely on the ability of members to mobilise voters at the ward and polling-unit levels.
“Politics is local. Everybody should work to ensure that APC wins in their respective wards and polling units,” Udeh stated.
The minister said ATM would also provide members with opportunities to connect with political leaders, participate in party activities and engage government officials on issues affecting their communities.
He further pledged to devote more time to the South-East during the campaign period to coordinate the movement’s activities and strengthen its grassroots structures.
Earlier, the ATM Coordinator, Igboke Onyebuchi, disclosed that the group was putting necessary structures in place ahead of the commencement of local government-level mobilisation in November.
The November 14 inauguration is expected to formally establish the movement’s leadership structures at all levels and mark the beginning of its coordinated political mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
