President Bola Tinubu held his first meeting with the leadership of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA) on Thursday, 16 April, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. The group, central to Tinubu's 2027 re-election campaign, received a directive from the president to actively promote national unity and resilience against opposition actions undermining legal institutions. "You represent the conscience of a nation that wants to break the shackles of poverty and hopelessness," Tinubu said, stressing adherence to court rulings and democratic principles. He emphasized building a shared vision for national progress, stating, "There's no other path for us to attain national greatness."
Vice President Kashim Shettima, APC National Chairman Nentawe Yilwatda, and several governors attended, including Uba Sani of Kaduna, Mohammed Inuwa Yahaya of Gombe, and others from Yobe, Kebbi, Ebonyi, Delta, Kogi, Ekiti, Benue, Taraba, and Edo. Governor Uzodinma reported that RHA structures were fully inaugurated down to polling units, with data collection and civic engagement underway nationwide. Uba Sani noted that no Nigerian president had supported sub-national governments like Tinubu, accusing the opposition of seeking anarchy. Former Katsina Governor Aminu Masari praised Tinubu's reforms, while ex-Senate President Pius Anyim commended the appointment of Governor Uzodinma as RHA Director-General.
President Tinubu framed judicial compliance as non-negotiable, even as he rallied political loyalists behind his re-election machinery. His emphasis on unity and reform was echoed by governors who credited him with unprecedented support for sub-national governments. The meeting doubled as both a political strategy session and a validation of loyalty from key regional leaders. For Nigerians, this signals a tightly coordinated campaign structure already mobilizing at the grassroots.
