The Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Oweizidei Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has intensified grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in Jigawa and Zamfara states, unveiling 56 campaign vehicles for the movement.
Tompolo, alongside Jigawa State Governor, Umar Namadi, and Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, also called on residents of the two states to massively support Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, with Jigawa pledging to deliver two million votes for the President.
The mobilisation drive featured the inauguration of the Jigawa and Zamfara chapters of the movement on Thursday, with 31 vehicles allocated to Jigawa and 25 to Zamfara to strengthen its grassroots operations.
Tompolo, who was represented at both ceremonies by the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, Chief Kestin Pondi, said the movement was committed to complementing the efforts of state governments and mobilising widespread support for Tinubu through direct engagement with residents.
Pondi said the vehicles were provided to address transportation challenges and enable members to reach more communities with information about the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration.
He added that the vehicles would be placed under the control of the respective governors for deployment in advancing the movement’s mobilisation activities across the states.
He urged Nigerians to remain patient with the economic reforms of the Tinubu administration, noting that the benefits would take time to reach individual households.
According to him, the economy is stabilising, while state governments now have more resources to execute development projects and meet their obligations, including the payment of workers’ salaries.
Pondi commended the people of Jigawa for their massive turnout during Tinubu’s recent visit, describing the reception as a demonstration of confidence in the President’s leadership.
He urged residents to sustain the support by voting for Tinubu and Governor Namadi in 2027, insisting that both leaders deserved another four years to consolidate their achievements.
In his remarks, Governor Namadi reaffirmed Jigawa’s commitment to Tinubu’s re-election, declaring that the state remained firmly behind the President’s second-term ambition.
He expressed appreciation to residents for their overwhelming turnout during Tinubu’s recent visit, noting that the President was delighted with the reception.
Namadi described the presentation of the 31 vehicles as a significant boost to the movement’s mobilisation efforts and urged members to ensure their judicious use in reaching communities across the state.
In Zamfara, Governor Lawal thanked Tompolo and the movement for supporting Tinubu’s re-election campaign and assured the delegation of his administration’s commitment to the President.
He urged the state leadership of the movement to take charge of its operations and assured members of his government’s support, declaring that Zamfara was for the APC.
Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, commended the people and leadership of both states for their support and commitment to the movement’s activities.
Asuku appreciated Jigawa residents for their solidarity with Tinubu and urged them to translate the support into massive votes in 2027.
