2027: Kaduna APC vows massive turnout as Tinubu’s presidential campaign begins

Voters in Kogi State are being urged to back President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 election, according to Tompolo, also known as High Chief Government Ekpemupolo. To aid this effort, Tompolo has generously donated 25 vehicles to the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement in Kogi State. This move was announced through a statement released by the Movement in Abuja.

During the movement's official inauguration in Lokoja, Tompolo explained that the vehicles would enhance the campaign's reach across the state. He encouraged Nigerians to continue supporting President Tinubu, highlighting the president's recent reforms including the removal of petrol subsidies, direct allocations to local governments, and the power to regulate electricity within states.

These changes, according to Tompolo, have led to increased financial resources for state governments, enabling them to pay salaries, clear pensions, and undertake vital infrastructure projects.

Tompolo emphasized that if someone has done so much for you, it is only right to give them more in return. He urged PBAT members to take the president's message directly to homes, workplaces, places of worship, markets, and local communities. He noted that while the reforms initially caused hardship, they would ultimately benefit the nation if citizens exercise patience.

Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, praised the PBAT Movement for providing the operational vehicles needed for grassroots mobilization. However, he stressed that vehicles alone do not guarantee electoral success; structured organization and genuine voter engagement are equally important. Ododo charged the movement's coordinators to clearly communicate the administration's policies and projects, listen to citizens' concerns, and respond with facts rather than confrontational language.

Ododo also acknowledged that President Tinubu inherited significant economic challenges and chose to confront them through bold reforms. He stressed the importance of national stability through continuity. Pledging to personally lead the mobilization effort in Kogi State, Ododo encouraged PBAT members to engage communities peacefully.

The National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Mr. Sunday Asuku, called for broad mobilization of residents, youth groups, students, and farmers to support the president's re-election. Asuku praised the administration's policy direction and its proactive measures to prevent industrial action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), describing these as key achievements for national development.

He urged campaign workers to focus not just on formal rallies but to take the administration's message door-to-door, city-to-city, and settlement-to-settlement across the state.
