*Confident Of President’s Victory Based On Performance
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors has announced its decision to recruit five million canvassers to ensure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is reelected in 2027.
More than four million of the canvassers will work at the polling unit level, while the others will take charge of wards, local governments, and states, with the mandate to disseminate the achievements of the president.
Director General of Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) and Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, disclosed this at a retreat held in Abuja by the organisation for national mobilisation.
Addressing the participants, Uzodimma explained that the theme of the retreat, BUILDING A UNIFIED MOBILISATION ARCHITECTURE, was not a mere slogan but a practical step being taken by the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to sell Tinubu’s reforms to the grassroots.
He said 25 canvassers will take charge of each of the 176,846 polling units across Nigeria, totalling 4,421,150, while others will be mobilised for the 8,809 registration areas and wards, while yet another set will be responsible for the 774 local governments and 36 states of the federation, including the Federal Capital Territory.
Uzodimma noted that the Renewed Hope Ambassadors were paying special attention to the polling units because they were the areas where elections were won and lost.
“The polling unit is more than a place to vote. It is where the people give power and where they can take it back. It is where opinion becomes mandate. It is where hope is renewed,” he emphasized.
He said that with the 17 directorates of the organisation working through the zones, states, local governments, wards and units, it would be easier for their message to permeate the grassroots.
He said the ward agents and the polling unit canvassers are the face of the campaign because they interface directly with the citizens.
“When a citizen looks at you, what they must see is love for country, carried with discipline, humility, peace and respect for the law,” he charged them.
The Imo governor clarified the difference between the message of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors and propaganda, saying that the message was anchored on truth, reflecting the various achievements of Tinubu in the last three years.
He said that Tinubu’s administration has moved from stabilisation of Nigeria to acceleration, as reflected in public finances, infrastructure, and economic reforms.
He was emphatic that the sterling performance of the president in critical areas of the economy, the removal of fuel subsidy, the merging of foreign exchange markets, and the building of roads, clinics and the student loan fund will easily win him reelection.
He argued that the politics of 2027 will not be won on sentiments but on performance, structure, disciplined messaging, credibility and a real bond with the people.
Uzodimma described the strategy of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors as one built on truth and carried with performance, communicated with loyalty, patriotism and discipline.
He therefore urged everyone at every layer of the campaign to work hard and sell the message of Tinubu’s performance to all Nigerians.
