Tompolo Steps Up Rallying Supports For Tinubu Re-election In Gombe With 26 Vehicles

The Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has rallied support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in Gombe State, deploying 26 vehicles to strengthen grassroots mobilisation.

Tompolo, represented by the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Limited, Kestin Pondi, inaugurated the Gombe State chapter of the movement, with the vehicles and other campaign materials expected to facilitate door-to-door campaigns across the state.

Tompolo said the movement would mobilise voters for Tinubu through grassroots campaign strategy covering communities, local government areas, religious institutions and other public spaces.

He said the initiative was designed to communicate the achievements of the Tinubu administration to Nigerians and secure another term for the President.

According to him, the movement would work with the Gombe State Government to identify communities and locations where campaign activities would be most effective.

He commended Governor Inuwa Yahaya for infrastructure development in the state, particularly road construction, saying the projects reflected the benefits of funds made available to states following the removal of petrol subsidy.

He said the governor had informed him that the state was working to connect communities across its 11 local government areas and other development areas through road projects.

Tompolo noted that the developments demonstrated how state governmen could deploy available resources to improve the living conditions of their people.

He urged the governor to provide the Movement with the necessary guidance and enabling environment to achieve its mobilisation objectives.

“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,” he said.

He added that the vehicles would help the movement reach voters across the state and explain the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration.

In his remarks, Governor Yahaya thanked Tompolo and the Movement for bringing the vehicles and other campaign materials to support the mobilisation effort.

The governor declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was united and committed to securing Tinubu’s re-election, expressing confidence that the party would win across the state.

He said the President’s support had facilitated major development projects in Gombe, including road construction and agricultural initiatives.

Yahaya disclosed that the state was implementing an agricultural development programme targeting farmers, herders, processors and young people engaged in agricultural activities, with support from a N130 billion grant approved by President Tinubu for the initiative.

He said the removal of petrol subsidy, although painful, had created fiscal space for governments to mobilise resources for development.

Yahaya, who is chairman of the Northern Governors’ Forum, said the APC enjoyed substantial support among governors in the region and expressed confidence in Tinubu’s return to office in 2027.

Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Sunday Asuku, urged Gombe residents to support Tinubu, describing his administration as committed to development across the country’s six geopolitical zones.

Asuku cited the establishment of development commissions for different regions and the restoration of local government financial autonomy as measures that demonstrated the President’s commitment to inclusive governance.

He also argued that the administration’s policies had created opportunities for states to improve infrastructure and provide services to their residents.

Asuku urged voters not to be swayed by opposition parties, calling on Gombe residents to support Tinubu for a second term.
