Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has urged voters in Anambra State to support President Bola Tinubu's re-election bid in 2027. Tompolo made the appeal through Chief Kestin Pondi, Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, at the inauguration of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement's Anambra State chapter in Awka. Pondi stated that Tompolo believes in Tinubu's economic reform agenda and considers a second term necessary to sustain and consolidate the administration's policies.
The event featured the unveiling of 25 campaign vehicles and 60 motorcycles donated by Chief Cletus Oragwa to strengthen the group's grassroots mobilisation and door-to-door campaign. Pondi urged residents, particularly youths and women, to take the campaign to their communities, markets, and religious centres. He emphasized that Tinubu's reforms will take time but will ultimately lead to shared prosperity.
Pondi challenged opposition politicians to present their records in public office rather than appealing to ethnic sentiments. He insisted that Tinubu has the interests of the South-East and the entire country at heart. Sunday Asuku, National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, described Tinubu as a courageous leader whose policies address the country's longstanding challenges.
Asuku cited the Nigerian Education Loan Fund as one of the administration's interventions in the education sector. He argued that the student loan scheme is helping families meet the financial demands of higher education. Asuku urged Anambra residents to support Tinubu for another term, expressing optimism that the administration's reforms will create employment opportunities.
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 disclosed that political parties in Anambra had resolved to support Tinubu's re-election, assuring the organisers that the donated vehicles and motorcycles will 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.
The inauguration and deployment of the campaign equipment are expected to strengthen the APC's political mobilisation in the state and improve its prospects in the 2027 general election. The development reflects the ongoing efforts of political stakeholders to shape the outcome of the next general election.
