Grand patron of the PBAT Door to Door Movement, High Chief Oweizidei Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has reaffirmed the movement’s commitment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid as he deployed 25 vehicles and state-of-the-art sound systems for grassroots mobilisation in Enugu State.
Tompolo, who was represented by Chief Kestin Pondi, managing director of Tantita Security Services, stated this during the inauguration of the Enugu State chapter of the movement on Monday.
He said the movement was established to complement the efforts of the APC by taking the message of the Tinubu administration directly to Nigerians through sustained engagement at the grassroots.
According to him, the campaign would cover wards, polling units, churches, mosques, markets and other public places, ensuring that the achievements and policies of the present administration reached people across the country.
Tompolo described President Tinubu as a courageous leader who has taken difficult decisions from the beginning of his administration to reposition the Nigerian economy, expressing confidence that the ongoing reforms would deliver a brighter future for the country.
He also commended Enugu State Governor, Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, for his administration’s developmental strides, citing road infrastructure, bus terminals, the command and control centre, international conference centre, smart schools, airport and Enugu Air as evidence of progress.
The Enugu State Governor, represented by his deputy, Ifeanyi Ossai, commended the Movement for its investment in grassroots mobilisation, particularly its recruitment of members across electoral wards and provision of platforms to communicate the party’s message.
He said the Tinubu administration are working to address the challenges facing Nigerians, adding that the achievements recorded in the last three and a half years provided a basis for continuity.
The governor disclosed that he has requested the Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Dennis Guwor, who is part of the Movement to meet with the leadership of the campaign organisation to facilitate the integration of P-BAT into the Enugu State campaign structure.
Earlier, the National Coordinator of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Comrade Sunday Adekanbi Asuku, urged Nigerians to consider the antecedents of the presidential candidates, insisting that Tinubu remains the best choice for the country.
Sunday said the Tinubu administration had recorded significant achievements, including the introduction of the student loan scheme, local government autonomy and the establishment of the South East Development Commission.
