Chief Olisa Metuh, former national publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been named head of the Directorate of Organisation and Mobilisation in the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA). The RHA, established in November 2025, serves as a platform to communicate the policies, programmes and achievements of President Bola Tinubu's administration across Nigeria. Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, who is Director-General and National Coordinator of the RHA, announced the appointments on Friday. He said the new leadership structure is aimed at strengthening the group's operational effectiveness ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State is the Deputy Director-General, while Governor Mohammed Yahaya of Gombe State is Secretary, and James Faleke is Deputy Secretary. The RHA structure includes six zonal coordinators, 37 state coordinators and 774 local government coordinators. Other appointees include Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, who leads the Youth Directorate. Sunday Dare heads Digital and New Media, while Tunde Rahman is Director of Media and Publicity. Additional directors include Mele Geidam (Finance), Muiz Banire (Monitoring, Compliance and Legal), Bisoye Coker-Odusote (Technology and Data), Abubakar Abubakar (Support Groups), Ibrahim Garba (Intelligence), Sen. Sani Musa (Special Duties), Simon Karu (Planning), Halima Zakari (Welfare), Nnamdi Mbaeri (Administration), Bilikisu Muhammed Kaika (Women Affairs), Abike Dabiri-Erewa (Diaspora), and Hadiza Bala Usman (Research and Innovation). The appointments are intended to create a broad-based structure for engaging Nigerians at all levels.
Olisa Metuh, once the PDP's chief communicator, now leads the machinery promoting President Tinubu's agenda, raising questions about the shifting loyalties shaping political messaging in Nigeria. His appointment, alongside serving governors and high-profile figures, places trusted voices in charge of amplifying government actions ahead of 2027. This consolidation of political outreach under former opposition figures suggests narrative control is now a central pillar of the administration's strategy. Nigerians named in the structure are expected to align messaging across all levels of government without public dissent.
