Nigerian ex-militant leader backs Tinubu re-election, donates 30 vehicles for campaign

Government Ekpemupolo (Tompolo), a former Niger Delta militant leader, publicly endorsed President Bola Tinubu for a second term, citing the need to consolidate economic reforms, and donated 30 vehicles for grassroots mobilisation. This signals political alignment between the administration and influential regional figures ahead of the 2027 election, potentially bolstering Tinubu's support in the Niger Delta. The endorsement is notable given Tompolo's past influence and security role in the region.
