Government Ekpemupolo, famously known as Tompolo, has defied President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's wish for a subdued celebration of his 72nd birthday by purchasing the front pages of prominent national newspapers to honor Tinubu.
Despite Tinubu's decision not to mark his birthday due to the country's challenging times, Tompolo, the chairperson of Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited, orchestrated a grand gesture by showcasing birthday messages for Tinubu in at least eight major newspapers.
Tanita Security Services Nigeria Limited, an oil pipeline surveillance firm combating crude oil theft in the Niger Delta region, made a bold statement with Tompolo's action.
Tinubu, who urged associates to refrain from organizing celebratory events on his behalf, instead encouraged donations to charity organizations in his name. However, Tompolo's move reflects a stark contrast to Tinubu's wishes, sparking intrigue and debate over the motivations behind the unexpected display of admiration.
