Tompolo has handed over 34 campaign vehicles to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s support group in Katsina, opening a grassroots mobilisation drive for the 2027 presidential election.

The donation came during the unveiling of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement in the state. Tompolo, the chief executive of Tantita Security Services Nigeria and the movement’s founder and convener, said he selected Katsina as the first northern state for the launch.

Thirty-four local government coordinators were inaugurated at the event, held at the People’s Square in Katsina, and received campaign vehicles. Tompolo, who was represented by High Chief Kestin Ebimorbowei Pondi, urged members to take the Tinubu administration’s message directly to wards, communities, markets and households.

Katsina Governor Dikko Umar Radda pledged the state’s support for Tinubu’s reelection. He described Katsina as an All Progressives Congress stronghold, saying all elected officials in the state belong to the party and that its structure remains united across the 34 local government areas.

“Katsina State is an APC state. Every elected person in Katsina State is a member of the All Progressives Congress, and I want to assure you that Katsina State has a special attachment to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” Radda said. He linked the relationship to longstanding ties between Tinubu and northern political leaders and praised Tompolo for choosing Katsina as the movement’s first northern launch site.
