The Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Dr. Kingsley Tochukwu Udeh, SAN, will on Saturday, November 14, 2026, formally unveil a political support group, As Tinubu and Mbah Move (ATM), alongside the inauguration of its national, state, zonal, local government and ward executives in Enugu.
The event, scheduled to hold at the Multipurpose Hall of the International Conference Centre, Enugu, at 10am, is expected to bring together prominent political leaders, government officials, party stakeholders and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and prominent businessman and philanthropist, Prince Arthur Eze, are among the distinguished personalities tipped to attend the event, while Enugu State Governor, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, is the Chief Host.
Other top government officials and political leaders are also expected at the inauguration, which will formally establish the organisational structures of the movement across different levels.
The ATM initiative, convened by Udeh, is designed to mobilise grassroots support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Mbah in the 2027 general elections.
The Minister had earlier unveiled 17 branded buses to facilitate the movement’s grassroots mobilisation activities, signalling preparations to extend its operations across communities, wards and polling units.
Speaking at a strategy meeting ahead of the planned inauguration, Udeh expressed confidence in the electoral prospects of both leaders and urged members to focus on practical mobilisation rather than activities that amount to political fanfare.
“I want this group to be different so that it will not end in noise-making. The aim is to make APC win from top to bottom, especially the President and the Governor,” he said.
He emphasised the importance of grassroots engagement in securing electoral support, urging members to take responsibility for mobilisation in their respective communities.
“Politics is local. Everybody should work to ensure that APC wins in their respective wards and polling units,” he said.
Udeh explained that the movement would provide a platform for members to connect with political leaders and participate actively in the party’s activities, while also creating opportunities to engage government officials on issues affecting their communities.
He further pledged to devote more time to the South-East during the campaign period to coordinate the movement’s activities.
The ATM Coordinator, Igboke Onyebuchi, had earlier disclosed that the movement was putting structures in place ahead of the commencement of local government-level mobilisation, scheduled for November.
The November 14 inauguration is expected to mark the formal commencement of the movement’s structured activities as it positions itself to mobilise support for Tinubu and Mbah ahead of the 2027 elections.
