Tompolo and Niger Delta Leaders Urge Jonathan to Drop 2027 Presidential Ambition

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is facing pressure from Niger Delta leaders, including Tompolo, to abandon his plan to contest the 2027 presidential election and instead back Bola Tinubu's re-election bid. Tompolo, along with other prominent leaders, met with Jonathan to discuss this issue.

The move is seen as an attempt to consolidate support for Tinubu and address regional and national sentiments. Tompolo's influence in the Niger Delta region is highlighted, as he leads a grassroots campaign for Tinubu's re-election.
