As the campaign train of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election gathers momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, Niger Delta leader and Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Oweizidei Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has urged voters in Anambra State to shun tribal politics and support the President’s second-term ambition.
Tompolo made the appeal on Saturday in Awka through his representative, the managing director of Tantita Security Services,Chief Kestin Pondi,
during the inauguration of the Anambra State chapter of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement.
He urged residents, particularly women and youths, to look beyond ethnic considerations and support Tinubu’s administration, expressing confidence that its ongoing economic reforms would deliver greater benefits if given more time.
Represented by Pondi, Tompolo maintained that the President’s reform agenda was aimed at repositioning Nigeria for shared prosperity and required continuity to achieve its 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 on what he is doing,” Pondi said.
He called on Anambra residents to take the message of Tinubu’s re-election to their communities, markets, churches and neighbourhoods, stressing that political choices should be based on national interest rather than ethnic affiliations.
“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 added.
Pondi also challenged opposition politicians to present their records of performance in public office, including their contributions as governors and vice-presidents, while insisting that Tinubu was committed to the development of the South-East and Nigeria.
He said the President loved the South-East and meant well for the country, urging voters in the region to support his administration’s policies.
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, insisting that he remained the best choice for Nigeria in the 2027 presidential election.
Asuku said the President had demonstrated the political will to take difficult decisions aimed at addressing the country’s economic challenges, expressing optimism that the ongoing reforms would translate into more jobs and improved opportunities for Nigerians.

He particularly highlighted the Nigerian Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), describing the initiative as an important intervention in addressing financial barriers to 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,” he said.
The national coordinator urged voters to put Nigeria’s interests above ethnic considerations, arguing that the Federal Government’s policies had also strengthened the capacity of state governments to meet their financial obligations.
He cited the ability of governors to pay salaries and pensions and execute development projects as some of the benefits of the administration’s policies.
Expressing confidence in Tinubu’s chances in 2027, Asuku declared: “No vacancy in Aso Rock. ”
As part of efforts to strengthen the movement’s grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 general elections, 25 campaign vehicles equipped with advanced sound systems and 60 motorcycles were unveiled at the event.
The vehicles and motorcycles were donated by billionaire businessman, Chief Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, popularly known as Zenco, to facilitate the movement’s door-to-door campaign and community outreach across Anambra State.
The donation is expected to boost the movement’s mobilisation capacity, enabling its members to reach more communities and intensify advocacy for Tinubu’s re-election.
Speaking at the inauguration, the Anambra State chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Emmanuel Anosike, commended Tompolo and Tantita Security Services for their contributions to national development and their efforts towards mobilising support for Tinubu’s second-term ambition.
Anosike described the inauguration and the donation of campaign equipment as a significant boost to the APC’s political activities in Anambra, expressing confidence that the initiative would strengthen the party’s chances in the 2027 elections.
He further disclosed that political parties in the state had, at a recent meeting, resolved to support Tinubu, assuring the movement that the donated vehicles and motorcycles would be put to effective use.
The inauguration of the Anambra chapter of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement marks an expansion of the group’s grassroots mobilisation efforts in the South-East as political activities ahead of the 2027 general elections gather momentum.
