Former militant leader Government Ekpemupolo, widely known as Tompolo, has appealed to northern political leaders to support President Bola Tinubu’s reelection in 2027.
Tompolo, who has recently endorsed Tinubu for a second term, described the President as a capable leader with the necessary experience to elevate Nigeria.
He made this call during an interview with Arise Television, amidst Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s efforts to form a coalition against Tinubu ahead of the 2027 election.
Atiku Abubakar, along with former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai and other northern political figures, are reportedly spearheading a coalition to challenge Tinubu and the ruling party in the next election.

However, Tompolo urged the North to allow Tinubu to serve two terms, similar to his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari, who is from the North.
He pledged to travel across northern states to garner support for Tinubu’s reelection.
“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,” Tompolo stated. “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.”
Tompolo also reiterated that traditional rulers in Delta State have endorsed Tinubu for reelection.
