A pro-President Bola Ahmed Tinubu group, operating under the banner of the Asiwaju Mandate Group (AMG), has organised a statewide celebration tagged Asiwaju Christmas Fiesta for residents and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State.

The fiesta, held across the three senatorial districts of the state, brought together party members, stakeholders, and supporters in a show of unity, fellowship, and goodwill, in line with the group’s core values.

Speaking on the event, the Director-General of the Asiwaju Mandate Group, Chief Olumuyiwa Asagunla, described the celebration as a demonstration of unity, loyalty, and appreciation for the unwavering commitment of members across Ondo State.

Asagunla commended participants for their dedication and urged them to remain united, focused, and steadfast as the group continues to promote the progressive governance agenda and people-centred leadership of President Tinubu’s administration.

He also paid glowing tribute to the Convener of the group and Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, describing him as a committed progressive leader whose vision and leadership have continued to inspire grassroots mobilisation and purposeful governance.

According to Asagunla, the Minister’s support and encouragement have remained central to the growth, cohesion, and expansion of the Asiwaju Mandate Group across the state, noting that the Christmas Fiesta reflected Tunji-Ojo’s people-centred philosophy and commitment to unity, empowerment, and inclusive political engagement.
