  "account": "Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Tompolo, has urged Anambra State voters to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027. Tompolo made the appeal at the inauguration of the movement’s Anambra State chapter in Awka, where he emphasized electoral considerations over ethnic ties. The event included the unveiling of 25 campaign vehicles and 60 motorcycles donated by businessman Chief Cletus Oragwa to enhance grassroots mobilisation. Tompolo, through Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, Chief Kestin Pondi, stressed that reforms require time and that a second term for Tinubu would help consolidate policies. He called on residents, particularly youths and women, to spread the message in their communities, markets, and religious centres. Pondi urged supporters to focus on Tinubu's economic reform agenda, which he believes will address the country’s longstanding challenges and create employment opportunities. Opposition politicians were challenged to present their records rather than appeal to tribal sentiments. The PBAT Door-to-Door Movement aims to use its state chapters and grassroots structures to canvass support for Tinubu across Anambra, a politically significant state in the South-East.",
