Tompolo Gives 52 Vehicles for Tinubu's Re-election in Ondo and Gombe

The Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Government Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, has urged the people of Ondo State to turn the state’s two million registered voters into strong votes for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.

He reminded the people that President Tinubu is their son and should be re-elected for a second term.

Tompolo made these comments during the inauguration of local government and ward coordinators of the Movement on Tuesday in Akure, the capital of Ondo State. He also presented 26 vehicles to help grassroots mobilization for the president’s 2027 re-election.

Tompolo, represented by Kestin Pondi, the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, said, “Become ambassadors and translate the 2 million registered voters into votes.

“We are inaugurating local government and ward coordinators today with 26 vehicles to reach every corner and creek to share the PBAT story.

“The president is from the South West, and he is doing well. Today, there are no more fuel queues; there are no ASUU strikes; salaries and pensions are being paid. Spread the message everywhere. I urge you to support the President with your votes in 2027.”

He warned the people not to let Tinubu’s opponents mislead them, saying they have no history of real results.

“Do not be deceived by political opponents who have no history of verifiable results, but I appeal to you to support the All Progressives Congress (APC) across all elective positions in the 2027 general elections,” he stated.

At the event, Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa praised the Movement for backing the state government’s push to re-elect the president. He noted that the state is already committed to this project.

Mr Aiyedatiwa thanked Tompolo for the vehicles, stressing that these donations aim to reduce voter apathy. He assured that the vehicles would help in reaching all parts of the state with the message of Renewed Hope.

“Ondo State is for Asiwaju. That’s where we stand. So, let me thank the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement for donating these vehicles, which will improve mobility and ensure our coordinators reach every part of this state.

“We will welcome all support groups that support the President and all APC candidates in the state. Any support group that is not for all our candidates will not be welcomed here. We guarantee you all the necessary support and security and assure you that there is no going back in this effort,” the governor said.

Earlier, Sunday Asuku, the National Coordinator of the Movement, urged the people of Ondo State to question the opposition about Nigeria's current situation.

“You must ask the opposition very hard questions about why our country is where it is today. Most of them were in power for a long time and left us where we are. That’s why the president is making tough decisions for a better future.

“Today, our students are in school, there is no ASUU strike, and they are getting their tuition paid and receiving allowances. To all students in Ondo and beyond, this is the time to vote massively so that NELFUND would stay and continue to benefit many more of you,” Mr Asuku said.

Kolawole Babatunde, the APC chairman in Ondo State, assured that the state would deliver at least one million votes to the president in the upcoming presidential election.

He commended Mr Aiyedatiwa for his ongoing support for local government and ward coordinators.

He stated that the state government has continued to provide resources for the re-election of the president and all APC candidates.

In Gombe, Tompolo also donated 26 vehicles to help with door-to-door campaigns and mobilize voters for President Tinubu using a grassroots campaign strategy that covers communities, local government areas, religious institutions, and other public spaces.

“Your Excellency, today we came into Gombe to inaugurate the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement chapter of Gombe State and also to bring vehicles that will support the message,” Tompolo, represented by Mr Pondi, said at the event attended by Governor Inuwa Yahaya.

Mr Asuku also urged residents to support the president, saying his administration is committed to development across the six geopolitical zones of the country.

He mentioned the creation of development commissions for different regions and the restoration of local government financial autonomy as proof of the president’s commitment to inclusive governance.

Mr Asuku called on Gombe residents not to be swayed by opposition parties and to support President Tinubu for a second term.

In his remarks, Mr Yahaya thanked Tompolo and the Movement for bringing the vehicles and other campaign materials to aid in the mobilization effort.

He said the APC is united and focused on ensuring President Tinubu’s re-election.

Mr Yahaya expressed confidence that the party would win in the state. He noted that the state is implementing an agricultural development program targeting farmers, herders, processors, and young people in agriculture, supported by a N130 billion grant approved by President Tinubu for the initiative.
