The founder of Tantita Security Services Limited, Chief Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo and the Host Communities of Nigeria Producing Oil and Gas on Monday, announced that Niger Delta people will back President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
The endorsement was made at a press conference held in Abuja by the HOSTCOM National President, Dr Benjamin Tamaranebi, and other Tompolo’s loyalists.
Also in attendance were the Chairman of Traditional Rulers of the People of South-South, Chief Ese Omafuakpo; Chairman, Council of Chiefs, Chief Obong Udo and the Adua Tein 1 of Ijaw Izonbe, Timi Alale.
Addressing journalists at the event, Tamaranebi said the decision to back Tinubu’s re-election in 2027 was unanimously taken by stakeholders of the Niger Delta because the President has proven more than enough that he is the right man to take Nigeria out of the wood.
While saying ‘No vacancy in Aso Rock,’ Tamaranebi hinged their decision on how the President put an end to the ‘twin cancerous maladies’, oil theft and pipeline vandalism, a development he said had crippled Nigeria’s economy in the past two decades.
The HOSTCOM leader also noted that under his leadership, the oil and gas sector, which was long left for dead, has staged a stunning comeback.
He said, “We, leaders and indigenes of the Host Communities of Nigeria Producing Oil and Gas in collaboration with our grand patron, High Chief (Dr) Government Ekpemupolo alias Tompolo, are fully endorsing and committed to supporting Asiwaju Bola Tinubu for re-election in 2027.
“We took this position after a thorough evaluation of Tinubu’s performance in less than two years of his first term and in obedience of clearly unambiguous directives of our patron, Ekpemupolo, who also scored “Mr President high in human development Indices, especially as they favoured the Niger Delta region and believed our President should remain in office till 2031 to enable him to conclude ongoing development initiatives across the six geopolitical zones of the country.
“The Tinubu administration is not just fixing the present; it is building the future.
“Alongside Tompolo, we endorse Tinubu for 2027. Our reason is simple: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has delivered. He has steadied the ship. He has empowered local communities and needs more time to finish what he started. Politics is about choices.”
According to him, no leader can build the future in four years, hence the need for continuity.
Similarly, Tamaranebi appealed to the President to ensure the political crisis in Rivers State is resolved amicably following the proclamation of emergency rule in the state.
“We want to seize this opportunity to appeal and beg Mr. President, as the father of the nation, to use his good offices to ensure an amicable resolution of the political imbroglio, which has engulfed River State. We urge Mr. President to prevail on the warring groups in Rivers State to sheathe their swords and embrace peace in the interest of the people.
“We know and trust that Mr. President has the capacity to restore peace and sanity in the crisis-torn state. We are convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that even his detractors are now better informed as he has silenced them and changed the landscape of our beloved country for good, CONTINUE READING ” he added.
