Zamfara State Governor, Dauda Lawal, and the Grand Patron of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement, Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, have urged voters to support President Bola Tinubu’s re-election to sustain his administration’s reforms.

According to a statement made available to our correspondent on Friday, the call was made on Thursday in Gusau during the inauguration of the state chapter of the movement, where 25 campaign vehicles were unveiled to strengthen grassroots mobilisation for Tinubu’s re-election.

The statement, signed by the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement Media Unit, said the vehicles, fitted with public address systems and campaign banners, are expected to facilitate door-to-door campaigns and take the movement’s message to communities across the state.

Tompolo, who was represented at the event by the Managing Director of Tantita Security Services, Kestin Pondi, said the movement was in Zamfara to complement government efforts to mobilise support for the President.

Pondi stated that the vehicles would be placed under the control of Governor Lawal and used to convey the movement’s message across the state.

He urged Nigerians to exercise patience with the Tinubu administration’s reforms, arguing that their benefits would take time to translate into improved living conditions for households.

According to him, the economy is stabilising, while state governments now have more resources to execute projects and meet their obligations, including the payment of workers’ salaries.

In his remarks, Lawal thanked Tompolo and the movement for supporting Tinubu’s re-election campaign and assured the delegation of the state’s backing for the president.

He urged the movement’s state leadership to take charge of its operations and mobilise support across the state, declaring that Zamfara belongs to the All Progressives Congress.

Earlier, the movement’s National Coordinator, Sunday Asuku, commended the Zamfara leadership for its mobilisation efforts.

“Nigeria has the right people in leadership positions at the national and state levels,” Asuku said, describing the situation as unprecedented since the return of democracy in 1999.

He urged supporters not to be distracted by opposition tactics, calling on them to intensify grassroots mobilisation and sustain their support for the President ahead of the 2027 general elections.
