Tinubu’s performance will earn him reelection in 2027, says Uzodimma

Imo State Governor and Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), Senator Hope Uzodimma, has said President Bola Tinubu’s performance in office will earn him re-election in the 2027 general election.

Speaking on Wednesday at the National Mobilisation Retreat of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors in Abuja, Uzodimma urged members of the organisation to intensify grassroots mobilisation and take the message of the Tinubu administration’s achievements to communities across the country. He said the group must build a strong and unified structure capable of promoting the administration’s reforms and development agenda ahead of the next election cycle.

The governor said President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda was designed to rebuild the country through economic reforms, infrastructure development, improved healthcare and social intervention programmes. Defending key policies such as the removal of fuel subsidy and foreign exchange reforms, he described them as difficult but necessary decisions aimed at securing Nigeria’s long-term economic future.

According to him, the administration’s reforms are already producing positive results. He cited Nigeria’s 3.89 per cent GDP growth in the first quarter of 2026, ongoing infrastructure projects across the country, and interventions in healthcare, student loans, consumer credit, tax reforms and the Presidential CNG programme as evidence of progress.

“The president chose the path of courage over convenience. Our responsibility is to explain these reforms to Nigerians and ensure that the benefits are clearly understood at the grassroots,” Uzodimma said, expressing confidence that the administration’s achievements would ultimately convince Nigerians to renew Tinubu’s mandate in 2027.

He said one of the major challenges facing the government was ensuring that citizens were adequately informed about its achievements, adding that the Renewed Hope Ambassadors was established to bridge the communication gap between government policies and the people while countering misinformation. He disclosed that the retreat would produce key documents, including a National Grassroots Mobilisation Blueprint and state-by-state action plans.

The governor further revealed that the organisation plans to deploy 25 canvassers to each of Nigeria’s 176,846 polling units, creating a nationwide mobilisation network of more than four million people. He also called for unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC), saying the group would continue to work closely with party structures to deepen grassroots engagement and consolidate support for the administration.

Also speaking, Kaduna State Governor and RHA Deputy Director-General, Senator Uba Sani, urged members to effectively communicate the government’s message of hope and renewal, while Gombe State Governor and National Secretary of the organisation, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, described the RHA as a strategic platform for national transformation. Notable dignitaries present at the event included Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Senator Atiku Bagudu, and APC National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda.
