TSG laud Tompolo, Wike over Tinubu’s second term campaign

From Tony John, Port Harcourt

The Bayelsa State Chapter of the Tinubu Support Group (TSG), has hailed High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, and the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, for spearheading grassroots mobilisation for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

Director of Media of the group, Udengs Eradiri, also commended some All Progressives Congress (APC) governors for early mobilisation, saying the pace of the ruling party has overwhelmed the opposition.

In a statement in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Eradiri said President Tinubu requires another four years to consolidate his economic reforms and challenged APC leaders, particularly in the North, to intensify campaigns for his second term.

He singled out Tompolo’s door-to-door strategy and Wike’s town hall meetings under the Rainbow Coalition as models of effective grassroots engagement.

“The Bayelsa chapter of the TSG commends and appreciates Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo, for the consistent door-to-door campaign he is doing to mobilise support for Mr President, not only in the Niger Delta, but also across the country.

“Tompolo is outstanding as a grateful individual who, out of gratitude, has continued to spend resources to mobilise support for him. He understands and values the magnitude of work the president has been doing for the country and the Niger Delta,” he said.

Eradiri, former President of the Ijaw Youths Council (IYC) Worldwide and former Bayelsa Commissioner, said Tompolo appreciates the significance of Tinubu’s reforms which previous administrations lacked the political will to implement.

“Even outside what we see on camera, Tompolo is reaching out to various stakeholders and holding underground discussions to explain what the president is doing and to convince them to support him. Most importantly, he is committing resources in the right areas to ensure victory,” he said.

He also praised mobilisation efforts in Kaduna, Katsina, Imo and Rivers states, noting that early preparation is critical.
