Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, leader of the PBAT movement, has donated 50 vehicles to support Bola Tinubu’s re-election campaign, 25 in Enugu and 25 in Cross River. He called on voters in Cross River to vote massively for Tinubu and APC candidates in 2027, according to a statement.

Ekpemupolo, known as Tompolo, leader of the PBAT Door-to-Door movement, has donated 50 vehicles to the re-election campaign of President Bola Tinubu in the states of Enugu and Cross River, according to a statement released to the press on Monday in Abuja. Each of the two states received 25.

The vehicles were handed over at rallies held to inaugurate the movement’s chapters in the two states and to distribute campaign materials to local coordinators. Represented by Kestin Pondi, managing director of Tantita Security Services, Tompolo called on residents of Cross River to vote massively for Tinubu and APC candidates in the 2027 elections.

Tompolo compares the economic reforms undertaken by Mr Tinubu to a cycle of sowing and harvesting. He said: 'Today, we no longer have queues for fuel.' He cited the NELFUND, which finances higher education, and increased federal allocations to states.

This announcement is part of a series of campaign initiatives. On 10 November, Shettima promises Ebonyi projects linked to Tinubu’s re-election, and the president promised the same day to halve youth unemployment.
