The Grand Patron of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu-PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Oweizidei Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, has donated 25 campaign vehicles and 60 motorbikes to ease grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election in Anambra State ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during presentation of the vehicles at the Solution Arena, Akwa, Anambra State capital, Tompolo urged the people to embrace Tinubu’s reform agenda and considered a second term necessary to consolidate the policies aimed at repositioning the country for shared prosperity.
Tompolo, who also urged voters in the state to reject tribal politics and support Tinubu for a second term, made this appeal on Saturday through his representative, Chief Kestin Pondi, Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, during the inauguration of the Anambra State chapter of the movement in Awka.
He argued that the reforms required sufficient time to produce the desired results, insisting that four years would not be enough to achieve their objectives.
“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, so the four years are not enough to do that. Even eight years are not, but they will help the President to consolidate what he is doing,” he said.
Pondi appealed to women and youths in Anambra to take the campaign to their communities, markets, churches and neighbourhoods, urging them to persuade voters to support Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
He also challenged opposition politicians to present their records in public office rather than appeal to ethnic sentiments.
“I appeal to our mothers, our youths, to 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,” Pondi said.
He added that Tinubu was committed to the development of the South-East and Nigeria, urging the people of the region to look beyond ethnic considerations in deciding who should lead the country.
Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, described Tinubu as a courageous leader and defender of democracy whose policies deserved another opportunity in 2027.
Asuku cited the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND) as one of the initiatives through which the administration was addressing challenges in the education sector.
He maintained that the reforms would eventually generate employment opportunities and improve the country’s economic fortunes, urging Nigerians to put national interest above ethnic considerations.
According to him, the financial resources available to state governments to pay salaries, pensions and execute projects had also improved under Tinubu’s administration.
He declared that the movement was confident of Tinubu’s re-election, saying there was “no vacancy in Aso Villa.”
Also speaking, the Anambra State Chairman of the APC, Senator Emmanuel Anosike, commended Tompolo and Tantita Security Services for their contributions to national security and their support for the President’s re-election campaign.
Anosike said the inauguration of the movement and the provision of campaign vehicles and motorbikes had given the APC a fresh boost in the state, expressing the confidence that the resources would strengthen the party’s mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
He further claimed that political parties in Anambra had reached a consensus at a recent meeting to support Tinubu’s re-election.
The APC chairman assured the delegation that the donated vehicles and motorbikes would be effectively deployed for grassroots mobilisation across the state.
