Imo State Governor and Director-General of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Senator Hope Uzodimma, on Tuesday inaugurated the Ondo State chapter of the group and charged members to work for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027.

n

Uzodimma said Tinubu deserved a second term based on what he described as ongoing developmental projects since 2023, including road construction, student loan schemes, and hospital rehabilitation across the country.

n

The governor, represented at the event by the Southwest Coordinator of the group and Chairman of the Nigerian Ports Authority, Dayo Adeyeye, said the administration had recorded notable progress in key sectors of the economy.

n

“The ongoing expansion of road infrastructure across the country is improving connectivity, boosting economic activity, and easing longstanding transportation challenges,” Uzodimma said.

n

He also pointed to the student loan scheme as a major achievement.

n

“The introduction of student loan schemes is widening access to higher education and reducing financial barriers for Nigerian youths, thereby creating more opportunities for academic advancement and skills development,” he added.

n

Uzodimma urged newly appointed local government ambassadors to intensify grassroots mobilisation and ensure coordinated support for the President’s second-term ambition.

n

Responding on behalf of other coordinators, Ondo State Coordinator, Mr. Victor Olabimtan, said the initiative would serve as a civic enlightenment platform to promote government programmes and counter misinformation.

n

He said the group would operate through a structured network across wards and polling units, with over 400 canvassers and 25 local units already deployed.

n

Olabimtan highlighted what he described as key achievements of the Tinubu administration, including infrastructure expansion, improved passport processing, and growing investor confidence.

n

“Although challenges remain, Nigeria is far from where it was. The reforms are already producing visible results,” he said.

n

He added that the initiative would go beyond mobilisation to include town halls, market outreach, and community engagement.

n

“The goal is one message, one direction, and one coordinated mobilisation to ensure Nigerians fully understand and benefit from government reforms,” he said.

n

Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, described members of the group as frontline drivers of the Renewed Hope agenda, saying the platform would help spread reform messages and strengthen governance outreach across the state.

n

He cited ongoing infrastructure projects, including the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway and other road developments, as part of efforts to drive long-term economic growth and investor confidence.
