Tinubu’s Re-election Will Pave Way For Northern Presidency In 2031, Tompolo Tell Bauchi People

The founder and grand patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Oweizidei Thomas Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has donated 32 campaign vehicles to Bauchi State to support the mobilisation of voters for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid.

The vehicles were unveiled on Saturday during the inauguration of the movement and the presentation of campaign materials at the Games Village in Bauchi.

Represented by the managing director of Tantita Security Services, High Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi, Tompolo said the Tinubu administration had recorded achievements in infrastructure and other critical sectors, which, in his view, justified continued support for the President.

He urged Nigerians, particularly residents of Bauchi State, to assess the administration’s record and policies as they prepare to make political decisions ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“If we want progress in Nigeria, we must support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. If we want peace and development, we must support his administration,” he said.

Tompolo maintained that the federal government had demonstrated its commitment to infrastructure development through ongoing road projects, including the routes linking Bauchi-Jos-Akwanga.

He also cited investments in healthcare, education and other infrastructure as areas in which the administration had made contributions to development in Bauchi State.

According to him, the functionality of the national hospital was another reason residents should consider when assessing the federal government’s performance.

He urged voters to make informed choices based on candidates’ records, policies and commitments rather than political promises.

The movement’s grand patron further argued that giving Tinubu another term would allow his administration to continue implementing its programmes.

He also made a case for the return of presidential leadership to the North in 2031, describing the issue as part of the wider debate over power rotation between the North and South.

In his remarks, the 2027 All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Bauchi State, Muhammad Abdullahi Abubakar, SAN, commended Tompolo and Alhaji Bala Maijama’a Wunti for their roles in supporting Tinubu’s re-election move.

Abubakar described the donation as a gesture of solidarity between political stakeholders from the South-South and the people of Bauchi State.

“It is a moment of joy because we have in our midst distinguished personalities from Nigeria’s South-South region who have come to extend a hand of friendship and solidarity to the people of Bauchi State by supporting the campaign efforts of the APC,” he said.

He expressed appreciation to Tompolo, Wunti and the APC leader in Bauchi State, Prof. Muhammad Ali Pate, for their contributions to the initiative.

Abubakar also pledged that the party would work towards securing support for Tinubu and other APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

He said the party intended to mobilise voters for its candidates contesting the presidential, National Assembly and Bauchi State House of Assembly elections.

Also speaking, the Bauchi State APC chairman, Muhammad Hassan Tilde, called on residents to support the party’s candidates across all levels of government.

Tilde urged eligible voters to obtain their permanent voter cards (PVCs) and participate in the 2027 general elections.

He stressed the importance of voter participation in determining the outcome of the elections.
