Former militant commander Government Ekpemupolo, also known as Tompolo, has asked northern political leaders to support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
In an interview with Arise Television, the Niger Delta leader urged support for the president in the midst of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s coalition campaign against the president in the run-up to the 2027 election.
Together with former Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai and other northern political figures, the former vice president has been pushing for a coalition effort to unseat the current administration and the ruling party in 2027 in an attempt to unseat the president in the upcoming election.
Tompolo said in his appeal to the North that Tinubu should be permitted to serve for eight years in office, just like his northern predecessor Muhammadu Buhari.
The former militant commander pledged to visit each northern state to persuade the northerners to support Tinubu’s reelection.
He said, “We’ll do our part, even go out of our boundary to the northern part of Nigeria to talk to our brothers so that he will get his second tenure. Tinubu is a good person; he has the experience to bring this country to a higher level.
“I am travelling across all the northern states to appeal to them. Buhari spent eight years now. So, we don’t want anybody to cause any problem. Let Tinubu have his eight years too and go then we will look for another person. There is no need for anybody to say we have a monopoly of power. We must allow Tinubu to do his eight year, we will appeal to everybody and by the grace of God everybody will support us.”
