By Deborah Oladejo, Osogbo –

President Bola Tinubu has named former Osun Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Sunday Akere, as the new coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Osun State.

Akere, who also served as special adviser to former Governor Adegboyega Oyetola, is among those appointed to represent the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory under the Renewed Hope Ambassadors initiative for the President’s 2027 re-election campaign.

The ambassadors were inaugurated in Abuja by Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressive Governors’ Forum, Senator Hope Uzodimma, who was appointed national coordinator of the group by President Tinubu.

Speaking with journalists in Osogbo on Friday, Akere expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the appointment, describing it as a call to mobilize support for the president in Osun and the South West.

He affirmed that President Tinubu deserves widespread backing due to his track record in office, particularly his efforts to develop the country and the South West through initiatives such as the South West Development Commission (SWDC), which aims to drive economic and social development in the region.

Akere commended Governor Uzodimma for his appointment as national coordinator, describing him as a visionary and hardworking leader who has inspired transformative developments in Imo State.

He also applauded the Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, for his leadership both in the ministry and in piloting the affairs of the APC in Osun State, saying his developmental efforts would ensure Tinubu’s re-election in the state and the South West.

Uzodimma had charged the ambassadors to return to their states and begin immediate mobilization for the president’s 2027 re-election campaign, emphasising that their work starts without delay.
