Tompolo Driving Force For Grassroots Mobilisation – Group

The Northern Youth Progressive Network (NYPN) has described High Chief Dr. Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, as a driving force for grassroots political mobilisation and national unity.

In a publication by its directorate of media and publicity titled, “Tompolo: The Man At The Front Door Of One Nigeria,” the group said Tompolo’s leadership of the PBAT Door-2-Door Movement had opened a new chapter in national political engagement.

The statement signed by the convener of the group, Bala Mohammed, said the ability to mobilise citizens across regional, ethnic and cultural lines remained the defining test of leadership in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape.

“The formation of this movement represents an opportunity to deepen grassroots political engagement, strengthen public participation and promote a shared sense of national belonging. This is mobilisation to national unity.

This is Door 2 Door to One Nigeria,” the group stated.

It noted that Tompolo, who rose from his Niger Delta roots to become a recognisable figure in national discourse, had in his capacity as national chairman / grand patron of the movement, placed himself within a broader effort to connect political leadership with communities across the federation.

According to the group, the significance of the initiative lies in its grassroots approach of reaching households directly, engaging citizens on a one-on-one basis and encouraging participation in the democratic process.

“For a diverse nation like Nigeria, such engagement offers an opportunity to bridge regional divides and reinforce the understanding that our collective future depends on cooperation, inclusion and mutual respect,” the statement said.
