The Partners Assured for Tinubu (PAT) on Wednesday said it will inaugurate its national executive structures on November 20 to strengthen nationwide support for the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The organisation said the launch is a strategic move to deepen citizen engagement and expand grassroots mobilisation across the country.

PAT’s National Secretary, Najeeb Babalikita, told journalists in Abuja that the inauguration marks a decisive moment in rallying Nigerians behind a vision focused on stability, development, and inclusive progress.

PAT was founded by long-standing associates of Mr Tinubu.

The movement describes itself as a pan-Nigerian organisation committed to national transformation and improved communication between citizens and government.

Mr Babalikita said the event would unveil PAT’s national working group and committees tasked with implementing the organisation’s strategic pillars.

He noted that the operational framework will strengthen collaboration among partners and stakeholders across all geopolitical zones.

He added that PAT’s mission is rooted in decades of political partnership and a clear understanding of President Tinubu’s leadership philosophy.

He described the launch as a call to action for citizens committed to supporting a stronger and more prosperous Nigeria.

PAT Chairman, Usman Hassan, said the inauguration reaffirms the group’s commitment to mobilising citizens, bridging communication gaps, and enhancing understanding of government policies.

He added that PAT aims to serve as a dependable link between the people and government by amplifying ongoing reforms and correcting misconceptions.

Director of Strategic Communications, Charles Akanji, said PAT comprises resourceful individuals working to deepen the impact of the Renewed Hope Agenda nationwide.

He noted that many Nigerians, particularly in rural areas, remain unaware of key government programmes such as the NELFund initiative.

Mr Akanji said over 624,000 students had benefited from NELFund, though the achievement received little public attention.

He added that more than 71 million Nigerians have benefited from the Conditional Cash Transfer scheme in recent months.

Mr Akanji also highlighted the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme, which supports over 250,000 graduates with monthly stipends and business starter packs.

He said PAT’s support base now spans all 36 states, with more than two million supporters from diverse sectors.

A media expert, Femi Oyelade, urged the public and media to monitor PAT’s activities, noting that further updates would follow after the inauguration.
