Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas and High Chief Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, have rallied support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 presidential election. In a statement made available to PUNCH Online on Saturday, the call was made during the launch of the PBAT Door-to-Door Movement’s grassroots mobilisation campaign in Jalingo, Taraba State. Tompolo, who is the Grand Patron of the movement, was represented at the event by High Chief Kestin Pondi. He said the reforms of the Tinubu administration needed more time to consolidate and deliver their expected benefits, urging supporters to take the campaign to homes, religious centres, wards, local government areas and polling units. “Every policy needs time to consolidate; every policy needs time to show dividends. Every policy reformation will always come with its own challenges,” Tompolo said. See more Punch stories on Google.
