Hope Uzodimma, Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), has approved the appointment of key officials to lead the organisation's structure ahead of the 2027 general elections. The appointments, announced by Tunde Rahman, Director of the RHA media and publicity team, are aimed at strengthening the group's operational reach. The RHA, established in November 2025, functions as a platform to promote the policies and achievements of President Tinubu's administration across Nigeria. Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani is appointed deputy director-general, while Gombe State Governor Mohammed Yahaya takes the role of secretary, with James Faleke as deputy secretary.
The leadership structure includes six zonal coordinators, 37 state coordinators, and 774 local government coordinators. Dr Mustapha Abdullahi, Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, heads the youth directorate, while Olisa Metuh leads organisation and mobilisation. Tunde Rahman serves as Director of Media and Publicity, and Sunday Dare oversees Digital and New Media. Other appointees include Mele Geidam (Finance), Muiz Banire (Monitoring, Compliance and Legal), Bisoye Coker-Odusote (Technology and Data), Abubakar Abubakar (Support Groups), Ibrahim Garba (Intelligence), Senator Sani Musa (Special Duties), and Simon Karu (Planning).
Dr Halima Zakari is in charge of Welfare, Dr Nnamdi Mbaeri handles Administration, Bilikisu Muhammed Kaika leads Women Affairs, Abike Dabiri-Erewa is appointed Diaspora director, and Hadiza Bala Usman heads Research and Innovation. The statement said the appointments reflect a deliberate effort to create a broad-based structure for effective engagement with Nigerians at all levels.
Uba Sani and Mohammed Yahaya are now deputy director-general and secretary of a political platform while still serving as governors, raising questions about the separation between state duties and party roles. James Faleke and Abike Dabiri-Erewa, both federal lawmakers, are also taking on major party positions without resigning from legislative offices. Nigerians in Kaduna and Gombe may find their governors balancing state governance with political mobilisation, potentially affecting administrative focus. The blending of government and party roles could blur lines of accountability ahead of 2027.
