Full List of Tinubu's 2027 Campaign Foot Soldiers Unveiled by Uzodimma
In a significant political development, Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has released the comprehensive list of members for President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope Ambassadors movement. This announcement, made on Friday, April 17, 2026, marks a strategic move to bolster the operational framework of the group ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Key Appointments and Leadership Structure
Governor Uzodimma, serving as the director general and national coordinator of the movement, disclosed that the appointees are tasked with spearheading the foot soldiers for President Tinubu's re-election campaign. The list includes prominent figures such as Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State as Deputy Director General and Mohammed Yahaya of Gombe State as Secretary. Other notable appointments feature Chief Olisa Metuh as Head of Organisation and Mobilisation, Tunde Rahman as Head of Media and Publicity, and Abike Dabiri handling Diaspora affairs.
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors, established by President Tinubu in November 2027, aims to disseminate the achievements of the Renewed Hope Agenda administration nationwide. According to reports, the organization boasts a robust structure with six zonal coordinators, 37 state coordinators, and 774 local government coordinators across Nigeria, ensuring widespread outreach and mobilization.
Opposition Threats and Political Dynamics
This unveiling comes at a critical juncture as opposition leaders, led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, are forming a coalition to challenge President Tinubu in the 2027 elections. Atiku has called for unity among opposition parties, including figures like Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and Rotimi Amaechi, who have adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their platform. In response, President Tinubu is not sitting idle, actively organizing the Renewed Hope Ambassadors to counter these threats and secure his position.
Adding to the political landscape, the Labour Party, which fielded Peter Obi in the 2023 presidential election, has endorsed President Tinubu for a second term. Abayomi Arabambi, the national vice chairman for the South-West, confirmed this endorsement on Thursday, April 16, stating it was done with the knowledge of Governor Alex Otti, the party's sole governor.
