Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has described President Bola Tinubu’s campaign group 'Renewed Hope Agenda Ambassadors' (RHA) as structured grassroots mobilisation designed to drive coordinated political engagement across the state for his re-election bid.
This came as Imo State Governor and Director General the RHA, Senator Hope Uzodinma officially inaugurated the Ondo state chapter of the group at a political event held in Akure.
Speaking at the event, Aiyedatiwa said the group is a movement of conviction, organisation and mobilisation aimed at coordinating action for President Tinubu re-election.
He said the group, which constitutes "the grassroots engine room of a broader national political resolve," would work for the emergence of President Tinubu in the forthcoming general election.
The governor explained that the political platform is operational rather than symbolic and designed to disseminate messages of reform, continuity and progress across all local government areas, wards, communities and households in the country.
He called on the newly inaugurated ambassadors and coordinators across the 18 local government areas of Ondo state to ensure disciplined, structured and credible grassroots engagement, stressing that mobilisation must be anchored on organisation, consistency and integrity.
"To the newly inaugurated executives and ambassadors, your assignment is clear. You must take this message to the grassroots with clarity, discipline and integrity. You must engage, educate and energise our people. You must ensure that the story of progress is told, not in abstract language, but in real, relatable terms that connect with the daily lives of our citizens.
"Let me emphasise that mobilisation is not noise; it is structure. It requires coordination, consistency and credibility. As ambassadors, you must embody the very values you seek to promote: discipline, unity, loyalty and service. The strength of this movement will not be measured by its volume, but by its organisation," he said.
According to him, the ultimate objective of the group is to build a functional statewide political network capable of translating support into electoral victory.
Earlier, Governor Uzodinma said the RHA initiative is a strategic political project of national importance aimed at securing the re-election of President Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Uzodinma, who was represented by the South-West Coordinator of the group and Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Dayo Adeyeye, said the campaign group was designed to deepen grassroots mobilisation and strengthen political structures across all local government areas.
He charged members of the President Tinubu’s campaign group to view their roles in mobilising support, focusing on advancing the President’s policy agenda at community level.
According to him, the administration of President Tinubu has implemented bold economic reforms that stabilised governance, improved revenue generation and enhanced federal allocations to states, in addition to ensuring prompt payment of salaries and pensions.
Uzodinma also cited the reforms in the education sector, including reduced industrial disputes and improved access to tertiary education, expressing great confidence that President Tinubu would record a decisive victory in the 2027 general elections.
Remarking, the Ondo State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Rt. Hon. Victor Olabimtan, said the initiative was established to strengthen political engagement between President Tinubu and Nigerians ahead of the 2027 general election.
Olabimtan described President Tinubu as a reform-driven leader taking bold policy decisions, contrasting the current administration’s proactive governance approach with what he described as reactive leadership in the past.
He noted that despite inheriting a fragile economy, the administration had recorded progress in infrastructure development, youth empowerment and economic diversification, citing over 400 road projects nationwide, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway, improved passport processing systems, and education reforms benefiting over one million students.
He emphasised the need to counter misinformation and strengthen government-citizen communication, warning that unchecked false narratives could distort public understanding of policies.
Olabimtan said the Renewed Hope Ambassadors is a national enlightenment platform established to educate citizens on government policies and interventions.
He explained that the structure has coordinators at local government and ward levels, operating through a 25-member unit system and a broader 400-member framework.
He added that the initiative operates on a three-tier structure comprising grassroots mobilisation, government information dissemination and APC party coordination, designed to ensure consistency of messaging.
He further stated that the platform would deploy town hall meetings, roadshows, faith-based engagements and stakeholder forums to enhance civic participation, improve feedback mechanisms and combat misinformation.
The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State, Hon. Babatunde Kolawole, commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for hosting the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, describing the gathering as highly successful.
He noted the massive turnout of party stakeholders and supporters from all 18 local government areas, alongside national and state-level dignitaries.
Kolawole said the event was not for persuasion but consolidation, describing it as a celebration of what he termed an already secured political advantage.
He expressed confidence that the APC would deliver one million votes for President Tinubu in the forthcoming election, citing the performance of both the President and the governor as evidence of visionary leadership under the Renewed Hope and Ease of Doing Business frameworks.
