High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election, stating that the administration's economic and structural reforms are delivering measurable outcomes. He cited growth in the Nigerian capital market, increased foreign investment, and improved fiscal autonomy for sub-national governments as evidence of progress. According to Tompolo, key macroeconomic indicators, including Gross Domestic Product (GDP), reflect tangible results from the reforms initiated by the Tinubu administration.
Tompolo made the appeal in a statement issued yesterday by Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, National Coordinator of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Door-to-Door Movement. He emphasized that re-electing Tinubu is essential to consolidating the ongoing reforms and urged nationwide participation in the movement's mobilisation efforts. The movement, which Tompolo founded and sponsors, aims to engage communities directly, promote voter education, and explain government policies at the ward and local government levels.
The movement plans to inaugurate its national executive members on July 9, 2026, at the Transcorp Event Centre in Abuja, beginning at 11 a.m. Tompolo described the platform as a grassroots initiative committed to advancing national development and supporting the Federal Government's Renewed Hope agenda. He stated that the event will bring together political leaders, community representatives, stakeholders, and supporters from across Nigeria. The movement places strong emphasis on women and youth empowerment as part of its outreach strategy.
Tompolo champions Tinubu's re-election while funding a campaign movement aimed at securing it, blurring the line between civic advocacy and political sponsorship. His claim that reforms are yielding results rests on broad economic indicators not tied to specific timelines or data points. The 2026 inauguration date for a movement executive suggests long-term mobilisation well ahead of any declared election cycle. A Niger Delta leader promoting central government policies may reshape regional perceptions, but the self-funded campaign raises questions about influence and representation.
