The Chairman of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), High Chief Government Oweizide Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, has lauded President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership, describing him as an exceptional figure in Nigeria’s political evolution. He also declared his unwavering support for Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027, stating that “It’s your turn again, Sir.”
In a goodwill message marking Tinubu’s 73rd birthday, Tompolo reflected on the president’s decades-long dedication to nation-building, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his determination to create a just and equitable society. He praised Tinubu for laying solid foundations in governance, making personal sacrifices, and proving his critics wrong with groundbreaking achievements.
“Mr. President, your life and leadership have been a true source of inspiration. You stand out as the most innovative leader in our nation’s history. We in Tantita Security Services appreciate your support in the fight against crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism, which has significantly increased the nation’s crude oil production from 600,000 barrels per day to 1.8 million barrels per day. We count on your continued intervention,” Tompolo stated.
Highlighting Tinubu’s achievements in just two years, Tompolo listed several key milestones, including:
Economic growth: Doubling aggregate revenues to over N9.1 trillion and reducing the debt service ratio from 97% to 68%.
Oil and gas resurgence: Clearing $5 billion in outstanding foreign exchange obligations, expanding the oil and gas sector, and launching the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative.
Education and social welfare: Establishing the Student Loan Fund, approving N45.6 billion for student payments, and distributing fertilizers while initiating a plan to cultivate 10 million hectares of land.
Infrastructure development:
Advancing the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway and Sokoto-Badagry Highway, and implementing major reforms in refining and petroleum pricing.
Employment and taxation: Creating over 400,000 jobs through Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and signing the Tax Administration Bills into law.
Tompolo also commended Tinubu for signing the bill establishing the Nigeria Maritime University (NMU) in Okerenkoko, Delta State, into law, a development he described as a significant victory for the Niger Delta.
While celebrating the president’s birthday, Tompolo reaffirmed his commitment to Tinubu’s re-election, urging progressive-minded leaders and people of the Niger Delta to rally behind his continuity beyond 2027.
“As you mark 73 years today, we pray that God grants you strength to finish your first term strong and go for a second term without a hitch, Insha Allah. Nothing can change our support, Sir! Truly, Eyin L’okan, L’eekan si – it’s your turn again,” Tompolo declared.
