The Remi Oseni Committee of Friends (ROCOF) has announced plans to reach a membership milestone of 500,000 by the end of 2025, as part of its strategy to galvanize widespread grassroots support for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the restoration of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to power in Oyo State.

Founder of the movement and federal lawmaker representing Ibarapa East/Ido Federal Constituency, Hon. Aderemi Oseni, made the disclosure on Sunday during the inaugural general meeting of ROCOF’s Ibarapa East local government chapter, held in Eruwa.

According to Hon. Oseni, more than 200,000 members have already been enrolled across the state’s 33 local government areas, describing ROCOF as an emerging political force rooted in grassroots mobilisation, empowerment, and civic advocacy.

“We are more than just a political support group,” Oseni remarked. “ROCOF is a grassroots-driven movement committed to securing Oyo State for President Tinubu in 2027 and ensuring the APC regains leadership at the Agodi Government House.”

He urged members to intensify their mobilisation efforts at the community level, spreading ROCOF’s six-point agenda “from house to house, street to street, and village to village.”

The six-point agenda, as outlined by the Chairman of the House Committee on the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA), includes: securing victory for Tinubu in Oyo, facilitating the APC’s return to power in the state, empowering members, supporting market traders, promoting youth development, and advocating justice for wrongly imprisoned politicians.

Hon. Oseni further encouraged ROCOF members to actively participate in the 2027 general elections by contesting various elective positions, assuring them of the group’s unwavering support and political backing.

“This is a divine mandate,” he emphasized. “We must approach it with unity, urgency, and unwavering commitment to achieving our shared vision for Oyo State and Nigeria.
