Tompolo and Zamfara Governor Urge Support for Tinubu's 2027 Bid

Chief Oweizide Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, and Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, have called on voters in Zamfara to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election in 2027. They believe this is key to continuing the President's reforms.

This message came from a press statement released by the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement Media Unit, which our reporter received on Friday.

The appeal took place on Thursday in Gusau during the launch of the movement’s Zamfara chapter. At this event, they revealed 25 campaign vehicles to boost grassroots support for Tinubu’s re-election.

These vehicles, equipped with public address systems and campaign banners, aim to help spread the movement’s message to communities throughout the state.

Tompolo was represented by Kestin Pondi, the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, at the event. Pondi stated that the movement is in Zamfara to assist the state government in rallying support for the President.

Pondi said, “The vehicles would be placed under the control of Governor Dauda Lawal and used to convey the movement’s message across the state.”

He also asked Nigerians to be patient with Tinubu's reforms, explaining that their positive effects would take time to show up as better living conditions for families.

He noted that the economy is getting stronger, and state governments now have more funds to carry out projects and pay workers' salaries.

Governor Lawal expressed gratitude to Tompolo and the movement for backing Tinubu’s re-election efforts. He assured the delegation that the state supports the President.

He urged the state leadership of the movement to manage its activities and mobilise support throughout Zamfara, insisting that the state is for the All Progressives Congress.

Earlier, the movement’s National Coordinator, Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, praised the Zamfara leadership for their mobilising work.

Asuku said, “Nigeria has the right people in leadership positions at the national and state levels,” calling it a unique time since democracy returned.

He encouraged supporters to ignore distractions from the opposition and to keep pushing for grassroots support for the President as the 2027 elections approach.
