The inauguration ceremony, held on Thursday, October 8, 2026, in Abeokuta, the state capital, also featured the inauguration of the group's state and local government executive committees.
Speaking at the ceremony, the Convener and National Coordinator of AMG, Ambassador Oladeyinde D. Adekunle, popularly known as Diamond David, said the organisation was established to mobilise grassroots support for President Tinubu, the Senator, representing Ogun Central Senatorial District, Senator Shuaib Salisu, Hon. Afolabi Afuape and other House of Assembly candidates in all the twenty local governments area ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said the group was determined to extend its mobilisation efforts to every local government area, ward and polling unit across Ogun State to ensure widespread grassroots participation in support of its preferred candidates.
According to him, AMG has its presence across the 36 states of the federation and is committed to establishing functional structures at the state, local government, ward and polling-unit levels.
“We want to mobilise our people to go out there—every house, every corner, every ward, every polling unit, every nook and cranny of Ogun State—to ensure that we mobilise people who will vote for Mr President,” Adekunle said.
He attributed the group's support for Tinubu's second-term ambition to what he described as the administration's achievements in economic reforms, infrastructure, education and other critical sectors.
Adekunle cited the removal of fuel subsidy, ongoing road construction projects and the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), among other government initiatives, as reasons for the group's decision to support the President's re-election bid.
He maintained that although the government's economic reforms had initially brought hardship to Nigerians, the administration's policies were beginning to yield positive results.
In a separate interview with journalists, the Ogun State Coordinator of AMG, Hon. Gbenga Adekanmbi, disclosed that the group was targeting 10 million supporters for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
Adekanmbi said the mobilisation campaign would cover the three senatorial districts of Ogun State, adding that the group would work towards securing support for all APC candidates contesting various elective positions.
He explained that the organisation's activities would extend beyond the presidential and governorship elections to include senatorial, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly contests.
“We will work for all our candidates, all APC candidates—from the President to the Governor, the Senators, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly. By the special grace of God, we will win all,” he said.
On the group's endorsement of Senator Adeola for the 2027 Ogun governorship election, Adekanmbi and other AMG leaders cited what they described as the senator's legislative record and interventions across the state.
They argued that Adeola's activities had extended beyond Ogun West, the senatorial district he represents, to communities across Ogun Central and Ogun East.
One of the speakers said the senator's interventions demonstrated his interest in the development of the entire state and reflected his preparedness for the governorship position.
“YAYI has his own blueprint. He has been working because he knows what he wants to do in Ogun State. That is why he has been utilising his position in the Senate for the benefit of the state,” the speaker said.
He added that AMG's support for Adeola formed part of its broader commitment to mobilising support for all APC candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The inauguration of the Ogun State chapter marks another step in the group's efforts to expand its organisational structure and strengthen grassroots mobilisation ahead of the elections.
The AMG leadership expressed confidence in the group's ability to extend its reach across the state's 20 local government areas through the planned inauguration of its ward and polling-unit Executives
The Deputy Coordinator of the Asiwaju Mobilization Group (AMG), Ogun State Chapter, Comrade Afolabi Olaitan Amoniyan in his speech said "Great comrades and esteemed members of the Asiwaju Mobilization Group! Today marks a historic turning point in the political journey of Ogun State as we officially inaugurate our State and Local Government Executive Committees. What we are building here today is not just a committee, but an unstoppable grassroots movement. From the busy streets of Abeokuta to the farthest corners of our twenty local government areas, every ward, and every single polling unit, AMG is prepared to take the message of progress directly to the people. We stand firmly behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu because we can already see the fruits of his bold economic reforms, from the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) to transformative infrastructure development across the nation.
"Our mission in Ogun State is clear, unified, and absolute: we are here to deliver total victory for the All Progressives Congress across every elective seat in 2027. Beside our unwavering backing for the President's re-election bid, AMG proudly stands behind Senator Solomon Olamilekan Adeola (YAYI) for Governor of Ogun State. Senator Adeola’s outstanding legislative track record and his tireless developmental interventions have already touched lives far beyond Ogun West, proving that he possesses the vision, blueprint, and heart required to lead our entire state into a new era of prosperity.
"I want to charge each and every one of our newly inaugurated executive members to return to your respective local governments and get to work immediately. Let us hit the ground running as we prepare to establish our ward and polling-unit structures. Together, through dedication, strategic mobilization, and relentless grassroots engagement, we will secure the mandate for President Tinubu, Senator YAYI, and all APC candidates come 2027"
