Bunmi Tunji-Ojo’s PNT Set To Host The Mother Of All Political Gatherings, Facilitates Ondo Action Alliance Defection To APC

The political landscape of Ondo State is set for a major shake-up as the All Progressives Congress (APC) prepares to welcome the entire structure of the Action Alliance (AA) in what is already being described as the mother of all political gatherings. The grand defection rally, scheduled for Thursday, October 30, 2025, will hold at First Molac Hotel, Akure, opposite the Progressives Network for Tinubu (PNT) State Office.

Facilitated by the Progressives Network for Tinubu (PNT) under the sponsorship of Hon. Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, and the coordination of it's Director General, Pastor Olumide Obadele, the event is expected to attract a massive crowd of political heavyweights, party loyalists, and supporters from across the state. The defection signifies a new wave of political alignment, unity, and consolidation within the ruling party as the progressives continue to gain momentum across Ondo State. According to the "PNT DG Media Squad", the event will be streamed live via the group’s official Facebook page at facebook.com/PNTOndo and broadcast on various television channels within and outside the state.

The atmosphere is already buzzing with excitement as preparations intensify for the historic event. Political conversations dominate public spaces as anticipation grows.

A visit by "Media Spotlight" team to First Molac Hotel, the venue of the grand event, reveals an atmosphere of heightened activity. Party banners, welcome posters, and colorful decorations bearing the APC and PNT insignias adorn the premises. Technicians and event planners are seen putting finishing touches to the stage, sound systems, and seating arrangements in readiness for the expected mammoth crowd.

Just opposite the venue, the PNT State Office is a hive of coordination and strategy. Volunteers and mobilization officers move briskly in and out, finalizing logistics, coordinating arrivals, and attending to delegations from various local government areas. The energy around the PNT office mirrors the group’s growing influence and organizational strength, which have become synonymous with the renewed progressive spirit sweeping through the state.

The Progressives Network for Tinubu has, over time, emerged as one of the most formidable political movements in Ondo State, serving as a vital engine of grassroots mobilisation for the APC. Its impact reflects the visionary influence of Hon. Dr. Bunmi Tunji-Ojo, whose leadership continues to inspire loyalty, discipline, and political unity across the state.

Since assuming office as Minister of Interior in 2023, Dr. Tunji-Ojo has redefined public service through bold and transformative reforms. His overhaul of the Nigerian passport system, restoration of efficiency in the Ministry of Interior, and insistence on transparency have earned him national and international commendation. These achievements have elevated his profile and positioned him as one of Nigeria’s most credible examples of youthful, visionary leadership.

In Ondo State, his growing influence has reshaped political alignment, bridging divides and strengthening the APC’s grassroots foundation. His performance-driven leadership has become the unifying symbol for progressives and a rallying point for supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Political observers predict that the upcoming defection will further consolidate the APC’s dominance in Ondo State and signal the beginning of a new era of political cooperation. The collapse of the Action Alliance structure into the ruling party is seen as a reflection of confidence in the leadership of Dr. Tunji-Ojo and the inclusive strategy of the Progressives Network for Tinubu.

As the countdown to the commencement draws to a close, all roads now lead to First Molac Hotel, Akure, where history is set to unfold. The crowd is expected to spill beyond the venue, turning the entire axis into a sea of party colours and celebration.

The stage is set, the momentum is unstoppable, and the atmosphere is charged with expectation. For Ondo State, this is more than a defection, it is a defining political statement. The APC stands united, the PNT is leading the charge and a new chapter in the state’s political history is about to be written.
