Tompolo takes Tinubu campaign to Peter Obi’s home state, urges Anambra voters to shun ethnic politics
The Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, High Chief Government Oweizidei Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has taken his grassroots mobilisation campaign for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election to Anambra State, the home state of opposition figure Peter Obi.
At the inauguration of the movement’s Anambra State chapter in Awka on Saturday, Tompolo urged voters to look beyond ethnic considerations and support Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election, GbaramatuVoice reports.
Tompolo was represented at the event by the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Kestin Pondi, who delivered his message to supporters and members of the movement.
The event also featured the unveiling of 25 campaign vehicles fitted with sound systems, while 60 motorcycles donated by businessman Chief Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, popularly known as Zenco, were presented to strengthen the movement’s door-to-door mobilisation across the state.
Addressing the gathering, Pondi said Tompolo remained committed to Tinubu’s reform agenda and believed a second term would give the President more time to consolidate his policies.
He urged women, youths and other supporters to take the campaign into communities, markets, churches and neighbourhoods, while asking voters to assess political leaders on their records rather than ethnic considerations.
Pondi said: “I am here to inform you that our leader, our father, Tompolo, believes in the reform agenda of Mr President to reposition our country for shared prosperity.”
He added that reforms required time to produce results and appealed to Anambra voters to support the President’s re-election bid.
The National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, also addressed the gathering, highlighting the Tinubu administration’s policies, including the Nigerian Education Loan Fund, while urging residents to support continuity in 2027.
The Anambra State APC leadership also welcomed the movement’s mobilisation drive, saying the campaign vehicles and motorcycles would strengthen grassroots engagement across communities in the state.
The Anambra mobilisation is part of a wider nationwide campaign by the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, which says it has expanded its activities to about 20 states and deployed more than 500 vehicles to support grassroots operations.
Anambra remains politically significant ahead of the 2027 election, particularly as the home state of Peter Obi, making the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement’s latest mobilisation a notable push by Tinubu’s supporters to expand the President’s appeal in the South-East.
