2027: Kalu meets Tompolo, strategises for Tinubu

From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja

Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives and Deputy Director-General, South II, of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council (APC-PCC), Benjamin Kalu, has met with High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, to discuss strategies for the re-election of President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general elections.

The meeting, which followed the commissioning of the national secretariat of PBAT Door-to-Door in Abuja on Friday, focused on grassroots mobilisation and the consolidation of support for President Tinubu across the South-South and South East geopolitical zones.

The strategic parley also touched on enhancing a joint operational framework for voter sensitisation, youth engagement and ward-level coordination in the states under the South II Directorate, with Kalu describing the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement as a critical vehicle for the 2027 project, noting that the election would be won at the polling unit and household level.

The Deputy Speaker, while noting that Tinubu had taken bold, reform-driven decisions that were stabilising the economy and securing the nation, added that the campaign trail would ensure that the message of the Renewed Hope reaches every doorstep, even as he emphasised that an alliance with Tompolo as convener of the movement was strategic.

Kalu, while speaking at the commissioning of the Movement’s national secretariat, stated that President Tinubu was committed to a stronger, more productive and inclusive Nigeria as evident in initiatives such as the student loan programme through NELFUND, which provides financial support for eligible young Nigerians to pursue higher education and the establishment of regional development commissions

He also expressed gratitude to the President for assenting to the South-East Development Commission Act, which he said was an important step towards addressing reconstruction, infrastructure and development priorities in the South-East.

Kalu, who commended Tompolo for the initiative, commitment and resources in establishing the national secretariat, also urged the Movement to embody the highest standards of democratic participation by listening to citizens’ concerns.

“Nigeria benefits when citizens can exchange ideas peacefully and participate in public life with confidence and dignity,” Kalu said.
