The Northern Youth Progressive Network, NYPN, has commended High Chief, Engr. Kestin Pondi, for what it described as exemplary political organisation and grassroots mobilisation through the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement.

In an official communiqué issued by its Directorate of Media and Publicity, the group said the scale of organisation, strategic coordination and sustained grassroots engagement demonstrated under Pondi’s leadership deserves serious national recognition.

According to NYPN, Pondi has shown that political leadership is not measured merely by public declarations, but by the ability to transform vision into a functional, disciplined and expanding grassroots structure.

The group noted that his commitment to mobilising support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and building a nationwide grassroots network reflects significant organisational determination in the evolving political environment.

“We place on record, without equivocation, our commendation of High Chief Kestin Pondi for demonstrating the organisational courage, strategic focus and grassroots orientation required to build a political movement of national visibility,” NYPN stated.

The youth group said what distinguishes the effort is the emphasis on moving political engagement beyond conventional gatherings into communities, wards and local government areas.

“The ability to assemble people is one thing; the ability to organise them into a coherent and sustained structure is another. High Chief Kestin Pondi has visibly demonstrated the latter,” it said.

NYPN added that through the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, emphasis has been placed on direct community engagement, structured mobilisation and sustained outreach.

It described Pondi as a strategic force whose activities demonstrate a deliberate understanding that political mobilisation must reach ordinary citizens rather than remain within established political circles.

“The structure is visible. The coordination is deliberate. The commitment is sustained. The grassroots footprint is expanding. These are important characteristics of any serious political organisation,” the group said.

NYPN therefore encouraged Pondi to sustain the momentum while upholding peaceful democratic participation, national unity and respect for differing political viewpoints.

The group noted that as Nigeria’s political landscape evolves toward the 2027 general elections, organised grassroots engagement will remain an important component of democratic participation.

“High Chief Kestin Pondi has demonstrated that political vision becomes meaningful when it is backed by organisation, commitment and action,” it added.
