Political support groups affiliated with the Renewed Hope Ambassadors have been urged to intensify their engagement with Nigerians by highlighting the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The Delta State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Rt. Hon. Funkekeme Solomon, gave the charge in Asaba, Delta State, while addressing representatives of more than 35 support groups during a strategic meeting.
Solomon said many Nigerians were yet to fully appreciate the economic and security challenges inherited by the Tinubu administration when it assumed office in May 2023.
He said the country was in a critical situation economically and in terms of security, stressing that bold decisions were required to rescue the nation from the brink.
“The country was in intensive care economically and security-wise. Bold decisions needed to be made to bring Nigeria back from the brink.
“From the removal of fuel subsidy, the proposed establishment of state police and the introduction of the student loan scheme, which has brought genuine relief to parents and students, Nigeria is now on the trajectory towards returning to prosperity,” he said.
He charged the leaders of the support groups to enlighten Nigerians on the benefits of the administration’s policies and the positive outlook for the country.
“Our job is to enlighten the people on the dividends of those bold actions and the positive outlook ahead so they can make a more informed decision come 2027.
“Nigeria is in the process of reconstruction, and the task requires time to be fully accomplished. That is why President Tinubu should be voted for a second term to enable him complete the job,” Solomon said.
On security, he said the constitutional process towards allowing states to establish their own police forces would give states greater control over their security architecture.
According to him, once the process is completed, states would be able to take greater responsibility for their security and overcome some of the challenges associated with the existing centralised police structure.
Solomon clarified that the Renewed Hope Ambassadors was not running the affairs of the All Progressives Congress (APC), but was providing support for the party and the Tinubu administration.
He said the group’s members were “foot soldiers” responsible for propagating the achievements of the President and mobilising support for his administration.
“We are the foot soldiers to propagate Tinubu’s accomplishments. The APC remains the only stable platform to get Nigeria back on track,” he said.
He also cited the student loan scheme and what he described as the stability of the academic calendar of Nigerian universities since 2023 as some of the administration’s achievements.
The meeting, he said, was part of efforts to strengthen grassroots mobilisation and ensure that Nigerians were adequately informed about the policies and programmes of the Tinubu administration ahead of the 2027 elections.
