Former militant leader Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has called on northern political leaders to back President Bola Tinubu’s reelection bid in 2027. Tompolo, who recently endorsed Tinubu for a second term, praised the President as a good man with the experience needed to elevate Nigeria. Speaking in an interview with Arise Television, the Niger Delta leader urged the North to support Tinubu, as opposition figures like Alhaji Atiku Abubakar intensify efforts to form a coalition against the President ahead of the next election. Atiku, alongside former Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir El-Rufai and other northern politicians, is leading moves to unseat Tinubu and the ruling party in 2027. In his appeal, Tompolo argued that Tinubu deserves to complete eight years in office, just as former President Muhammadu Buhari from the North did. He also pledged to personally visit all northern states to rally support for 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.”
