The Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), a support group of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared that it will deploy more than 4.4 million canvassers across Nigeria’s 176,846 polling units ahead of the 2027 general election.
Governor Hope Uzodimma, chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF), disclosed this on Wednesday at the national mobilisation retreat of the RHA in Abuja.
The retreat, themed “Building a Unified National Mobilisation Architecture”, brought together APC leaders, governors, ministers, party stakeholders and mobilisation coordinators from across the country.
Uzodimma said the mobilisation network had already been structured from the national level down to polling units across the federation.
He said the initiative was aimed at deepening grassroots engagement and communicating the achievements of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Uzodimma stated that Tinubu’s economic reforms and development programmes had begun yielding results despite initial challenges.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has demonstrated courage in taking difficult decisions that previous administrations avoided. The Renewed Hope Agenda is not merely a government programme; it is a comprehensive plan to rebuild Nigeria and secure a better future for generations to come,” he said.
The governor said the mobilisation structure covers the six geopolitical zones, 36 states and the federal capital territory, 774 local government areas, 8,809 wards and 176,846 polling units. According to him, the organisation plans to deploy 25 canvassers to each polling unit.
“At twenty-five canvassers to a polling unit, that is a lawful civic force of 4,421,150 people across the federation. That is the mathematics of serious mobilisation. That is the difference between hoping to win and organising to win,” he said.
Uzodimma said the mobilisation effort was designed not only to build political support but also to improve public understanding of government policies and reforms.
“We mobilise without arrogance. We persuade without insult. We defend the President without insulting the citizen. We answer hard questions without losing our temper. Our mission is to communicate truth, performance and evidence with discipline and patriotism,” he said.
The governor maintained that the achievements recorded by the Tinubu administration had laid the foundation for continued growth and national development.
“The achievements of this administration have laid a solid foundation for continued progress. The performance of President Tinubu merits a second term, and it is our responsibility to take that message to every community across the federation,” he said.
