The coordinator of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Ideological Group (BAT), Hon. Bamidele Atoyebi, has launched a renewed outreach campaign aimed at educating communities on the BAT Home-Cell strategy as part of efforts to strengthen grassroots engagement and maintain constant contact with families in need of support.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday during an exclusive meeting with former local government chairmen from across the country, Atoyebi said the initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to building a nation where no citizen goes to bed hungry.
He explained that the Home-Cell structure was designed as a neighborhood-based system through which citizens can access information, express concerns and receive guidance on government programs.
According to him, the philosophy behind the model is to promote civic consciousness, encourage inclusive participation in governance and promote the president’s broader ideological vision.
Atoyebi emphasized that the goal of outreach is genuine community enlightenment, not a political incentive.
According to him, “through this domestic cell we can identify who is eating well, who among our support members feels abandoned, who still depends on water from a stream or a well, who lacks electricity and who does not have access to quality education, among other basic daily needs.”
He noted that the Home-Cell approach helps attract people who sincerely identify with the group’s ideals and are willing to serve, and emphasized that the BAT Ideological Group “is not a purposeless gathering.”
“This is not a political platform for people who only think about themselves or their families,” he added. “What we do here is help people. Everyone deserves to be educated and kept informed about the movement, not bought.”
Atoyebi said the campaign also aims to rebuild trust between leaders and citizens, particularly in communities that feel ignored. “We want to make the necessary connections to make it easier to reach those who feel used and abandoned,” he said.
Stakeholders at the meeting expressed their willingness to replicate the Home-Cell model in their respective communities, describing it as a strategic tool to maintain engagement, promote accountability, and strengthen grassroots support.
