Tinubu’s Re-election: Don’t Allow Repeat Of 2023, Tompolo Urges Lagos Voters

Leader of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Government Ekpemupolo, has advised the people of Lagos State not to allow a repeat of what played out in the 2023 election in the state during the 2027 presidential election.

Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, gave the charge on Tuesday in Lagos during a campaign rally for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election, where he also presented 57 campaign vehicles to state coordinators.

He was represented at the event by Kestin Pondi.

He called on Lagosians to take advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and obtain their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) to enable them vote massively for Tinubu.

“What happened in 2023 must not repeat. He must win convincingly in 2027,” he said.

Ekpemupolo described Tinubu as a selfless and courageous leader who has carried out bold reforms that are already yielding results, despite political risks.

He said Lagos is today referred to as a city for all Nigerians because of the foundation laid by Tinubu as governor from 1999 to 2007, which successive administrations have built upon.

“Lagos is the city for all Nigerians because someone stood firm to restructure and reform it. From the time he came into office in 1999 up to 2007 that he left, Lagos was the envy of other states. Today, he has a higher responsibility, an opportunity to replicate the Lagos success story in Nigeria through reforms. There is massive development across the states today because reforms are working,” he stated.

He urged supporters to take the re-election message to every household to ensure continuity of the reforms.

Also speaking, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said Nigeria is attaining economic stability under the Tinubu-led administration and urged residents to ignore opposition politicians who lack concrete plans for the country.

He accused opposition figures of moving from one party to another and lacking consistency.

Sanwo-Olu said Tinubu has constructed more roads than previous administrations in three years, provided support for students, increased the minimum wage and made funds available for payment of pensions.

“Why won’t we vote for him? The entire Lagos is for Tinubu. All our votes are for Tinubu. You’ve done it before, you’ll do it again. We will touch every corner of Lagos with our message to reelect Tinubu. Go out and convince everyone that Tinubu is the candidate to vote,” the governor stated.

Earlier, the National Coordinator of the movement, Sunday Asuku, urged Lagosians to get their PVCs to enable them to vote massively for Tinubu in 2027.

“We must stand our ground and deliver Tinubu with PVCs, not with guns or intimidation. Lagos must not put their son, Tinubu, to shame,” he said.

Asuku said Nigerians must make a bold statement in the 2027 election to retire “serial contesters” who he described as “enemies of Nigeria.”
