High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popular as Tompolo, the guy who at some point was hiding from security agencies but who is now so close to the powers-that-be that he spends money on Government affairs in advertisements and hundreds of vehicles as if money is going out of fashion has made a declaration.
He has just told other Presidential Candidates to keep calm because, according to him, there is no vacancy in Aso Rock.
Tompolo spoke when he went to Yobe State where he gave a big boost to The campaign for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
High Chief Ekpemupolo, who is the Patron of the PBAT door-to-door movement, while in Damaturu, Yobe State, unveiled additional vehicles for grassroots mobilisations ahead of 2027. While there, he declared: “There is no vacancy in the Aso Rock Villa.”
In his opinion, President Tinubu’s economic reforms which is already yielding results will require more time to consolidate.
He unveiled and launched campaign vehicles he donated to the state chapter of the APC for grassroots mobilisation.
Tompolo, who was represented at the event by the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, Kester Pondi, noted that Tinubu’s policies has increased funds available to State governments for development projects.
He said: “President Bola Tinubu’s policies have been wonderful. They have helped our governors to have more money for projects. They have put more money in the states than ever before.
“Today, your state governors have money to execute projects, your governors don’t owe salaries and pensions and that is because of the economic reforms of President Bola Tinubu which are yielding results.”
The reforms he said has brought challenges but posited that their benefits would become clearer with time.
He likened the reforms to road rehabilitation, saying the process could be difficult but, “everyone enjoys the usage of the road.”
He noted that the effects of the reforms are already being felt and seen even in local government autonomy and increased revenue to states.
He said: “We are telling you that if you want these reforms which have made local government autonomy and steady salary payment possible to be consolidated, you must vote president Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. Reelect the president for continuous reforms that will stand the test of time,” Tompolo added.
The National Coordinator of the movement, Sunday Asuku, also called on residents to support the APC and reject opposition parties ahead of the election.
“The landgrabbers are out to deceive Nigerians again but we have come to tell you that collectively, we should tell them a resounding no. There is no vacancy in Aso Rock Villa, Aso Rock is for President Tinubu.
“He (Tinubu) has done a lot and we must give him more time to do more so that we can continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy.
“Mobilise from door-to-door, street-to-street, area-to-area, farm-to-farm, settlement-to-settlement and vote APC from top to bottom.”
