2027: Tompolo urges Anambra voters to back Tinubu

Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo

The Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has urged voters in Anambra State to reject ethnic considerations and support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

Tompolo made the appeal on Saturday through the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, Chief Kestin Pondi, who represented him at the inauguration of the movement’s Anambra State chapter in Awka.

The event also featured the unveiling of 25 campaign vehicles fitted with sound systems and 60 motorcycles donated by businessman Chief Cletus Oragwa, popularly known as Zenco, to strengthen the group’s grassroots mobilisation and door-to-door campaign.

Addressing the gathering at the Solution Arena, Pondi said Tompolo believed in Tinubu’s economic reform agenda and considered a second term necessary to sustain and consolidate the administration’s policies.

He urged residents, particularly youths and women, to take the campaign to their communities, markets and religious centres.

Pondi said, “I am here to inform you that our leader, our father, Tompolo, believes in the reform agenda of Mr President to reposition our country for shared prosperity.

“As we all know, reforms take time. Four years are not enough to do that. Even eight years are not, but they will help the President to consolidate on what he is doing.

“I appeal to our mothers, our youths, please support this agenda. These reforms will take time, but they will germinate. As you leave here today, talk to your neighbours, in your markets and churches, everywhere you go that President Tinubu is the man to vote for. Shun tribal politics and vote massively for the APC in the next election.”

He also challenged opposition politicians to present their records in public office rather than appeal to ethnic sentiments, while insisting that Tinubu had the interests of the South-East and the entire country at heart.

“When our opponents come, ask them what they have done for you, for Nigeria as governor, as vice president. I appeal to you to know that President Tinubu loves the East (South-East), he loves Nigeria and means well,” he added.

Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Sunday Asuku, described Tinubu as a courageous leader whose policies, he said, were intended to address the country’s longstanding challenges.

Asuku cited the Nigerian Education Loan Fund as one of the administration’s interventions in the education sector, arguing that its student loan scheme was helping families meet the financial demands of higher education.

“Our president is a man of courage. He is taking tough decisions because he means well for our country. And one of those decisions is the NELFUND which is now providing answers to educational challenges. Even if you have 20 children in school, NELFUND is there to answer for their tuition and allowances,” he said.

He urged Anambra residents to support Tinubu for another term, expressing optimism that the administration’s reforms would create employment opportunities.

“With your votes in 2027, the reforms will bring jobs. I urge you to put Nigeria, put the country first and shun any tribal voting. You can see that even your governor is supporting the president, all the governors are supporting him because today, they can pay salaries, pay pension and execute projects all because of the President. No vacancy in Aso Villa,” he said.

The Anambra State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Emmanuel Anosike, commended Tompolo and Tantita Security Services for their contributions to the country and their support for Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

Anosike said the inauguration and deployment of the campaign equipment would strengthen the APC’s political mobilisation in the state and improve its prospects in the 2027 general election.

He disclosed that political parties in Anambra had, at a recent meeting, resolved to support Tinubu’s re-election, assuring the organisers that the donated vehicles and motorcycles would be put to effective use.

The mobilisation comes as political parties and support groups intensify preparations for the 2027 general election, with Tinubu seeking a second four-year term.

The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement is expected to use its state chapters and grassroots structures to canvass support for the President across communities.

Anambra remains a politically significant state in the South-East, where the APC faces the task of expanding its electoral appeal amid strong regional political sentiments and competition from opposition parties.
