‘Don’t Vote Along Tribal Lines In 2027,’ Tompolo Urges Anambra

Tompolo made the appeal on Saturday in Awka during the inauguration of the Anambra State chapter of the movement, which is mobilising support for Tinubu ahead of the elections.

He was represented at the event by Chief Kestin Pondi, Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, who unveiled 25 campaign vehicles donated by Tompolo and 60 motorbikes donated by billionaire businessman, Chief Cletus Uzoezie Oragwa, popularly known as Zenco, for the movement’s grassroots campaign.

Addressing the gathering at the Solution Arena, Pondi said Tompolo supports Tinubu’s reform agenda and believes the president needed another term to consolidate the policies.

“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.

“As we all know, reforms take time, so four years are not enough to do that. Even eight years are not, but they will help the President to consolidate on what he is doing.

“I appeal to our mothers, our youths, please support this agenda. These reforms will take time, but they will germinate. As you leave here today, talk to your neighbours, in your markets and churches, everywhere you go that President Tinubu is the man to vote for. Shun tribal politics and vote massively for the APC in the next election.

“When our opponents come, ask them what they have done for you and for Nigeria as governors or vice presidents. I appeal to you to know that President Tinubu loves the East, he loves Nigeria and means well,” Pondi stated.

The National Coordinator of the movement , Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, described Tinubu as a defender of democracy and the best choice for the 2027 presidential election.

“Our President is a man of courage. He is taking tough decisions because he means well for our country. And one of those decisions is the NELFUND, which is now providing answers to educational challenges. Even if you have 20 children in school, NELFUND is there to answer for their tuition and allowances.

“With your votes in 2027, the reforms will bring jobs. I urge you to put Nigeria, put the country first and shun any tribal voting. You can see that even your governor is supporting the President, all the governors are supporting him because today, they can pay salaries, pay pensions and execute projects all because of the President,” Asuku said, adding, “no vacancy in Aso Villa.”

The APC State Chairman, Senator Emmanuel Anosike, commended Tompolo and Tantita for their contributions and mobilisation efforts ahead of Tinubu’s re-election campaign.

Anosike said the visit would strengthen the APC’s position in Anambra and improve the party’s chances in the 2027 election.

He also said political parties in the state had resolved at a recent meeting to support Tinubu’s re-election. He assured Tompolo that the donated vehicles and motorbikes would be put to use.
