Tunji-Ojo, who spoke through Hon. Bode Obanla, a former aide to Governor Aiyedatiwa, made the clarification in Ikare-Akoko during a medical outreach organised by the Grassroots Movement for Tinubu (GMT) for residents of Ondo North Senatorial District.
According to him, his primary focus remains on advancing the policies and programmes of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration rather than being distracted by political gossip.
“Politics is local. My duty is to support any genuine group committed to promoting the good work of Mr. President. There is no fight between me and the governor. What matters is that we work together to project the achievements of Asiwaju,” he said.
The minister also stressed that GMT is a nationwide organisation with a track record of grassroots mobilisation, not an Ondo State-based platform. He applauded the group’s outreach efforts, pledging his continued support for initiatives that promote the president’s agenda.
“At this point, any group mobilising for Asiwaju is welcome. GMT has shown commendable initiatives, and I will keep supporting efforts that take the message of the president to the grassroots,” he added.
In his remarks, GMT Director General, Hon. Saka Yusuf-Ogunleye, explained that the free medical outreach targets at least 1,000 beneficiaries per senatorial district, with plans to expand the programme to constituencies across the state.
He noted that the initiative complements President Tinubu’s policies, expressing appreciation to the Interior Minister for his consistent support.
GMT Woman Leader, Mrs. Olamide Falana, reaffirmed the group’s commitment to showcasing the president’s achievements, while one of the beneficiaries, Mr. Sodiq Issau-Sanni, a civil servant, described the outreach as a timely and impactful intervention for rural communities.
