Nigeria: Tompolo Donates 50 Vehicles for Tinubu's Campaign in Enugu, Cross River

What the report says

Government Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, has donated 50 vehicles to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign in two southeastern states, according to Premium Times as republished by AllAfrica. The vehicles were presented in Enugu and Cross River during separate campaign rallies tied to the launch of local chapters of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement and the distribution of campaign materials to coordinators. The report says each state received 25 vehicles.

Tompolo, speaking through Kestin Pondi of Tantita Security Services, used the occasions to argue that Tinubu’s economic reforms need time to deliver results. He urged supporters to back the president and other APC candidates, saying the campaign would reach wards, polling units, churches, mosques and markets to promote the administration’s record. He also praised Enugu Governor Peter Mbah’s projects, including road works and transport and public infrastructure initiatives.

In Cross River, officials said the state would mobilize voters strongly for Tinubu in 2027. Governor Bassey Otu, represented by Deputy Governor Peter Odey, linked that support to federal projects and allocations, including the Lagos-Calabar Superhighway and the planned Bakassi Deep Seaport. The article also quoted Enugu Governor Mbah’s deputy, Ifeanyi Ossai, as commending the movement’s grassroots organizing. The overall message was that the campaign is seeking to build early momentum in both states by combining logistics support with a defense of the president’s reform agenda.
