Tompolo, the head of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, made headlines as he defied President Tinubu's wish for a low-key birthday celebration by buying front-page ads in national newspapers to honor him on his 72nd birthday.
The move, estimated to cost millions, raised eyebrows among Nigerians on social media. While some expressed surprise at Tompolo's gesture, others criticized Tinubu's involvement due to Tompolo's controversial past.
Despite Tinubu's call for subdued celebrations, Tompolo's grand gesture sparked debate online about the nature of their relationship and the implications of such a public display.
