  "account": "Chief Executive Officer of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, has presented 34 campaign vehicles to the Tinubu Support Group in Katsina State. The donation came during the official inauguration of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement in Katsina, which Tompolo described as a means to garner grassroots backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election campaign in 2027. Tompolo, who founded and leads the movement, selected Katsina as the inaugural state in northern Nigeria to launch this initiative. At the People's Square in Katsina, 34 local government coordinators were inaugurated, each receiving a campaign vehicle at a ceremony attended by High Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi. Tompolo emphasized the strong bond between President Tinubu and Katsina, built on trust, confidence, and inclusiveness. He called upon members of the movement to disseminate Tinubu's message through door-to-door outreach in various locations, such as neighborhoods, markets, and households. Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umar Radda, speaking at the event, pledged the state's backing for Tinubu's re-election in the 2027 presidential election. Radda affirmed Katsina's status as an APC stronghold, stating that all elected officials in the state are members of the party and that the party's leadership remains united across the 34 local government areas. He traced Katsina's relationship with President Tinubu to historical connections with northern political leaders, highlighting Tinubu's role in the political journey that led to the election of the late President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015. Radda also praised Tompolo for selecting Katsina as the first northern state to launch the movement, citing the region's historical ties to the Niger Delta, including the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua's Presidential Amnesty Programme. Katsina State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Movement and former Deputy Governor, Tukur Ahmed Jikamshi, echoed Radda's sentiments, noting the state's significant historical role in Nigeria's political evolution.",
