The Ondo State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Victor Olabimtan, has revealed that Bola Ahmed Tinubu has instructed the organisation to enlist 25 individuals from each of the 3,933 polling units in the state as part of preparations for the 2027 presidential election.
According to him, the planned recruitment will produce a total of 98,325 grassroots campaigners who will operate directly within polling units across Ondo State. Each of the recruited members will be tasked with persuading a minimum of five voters to support the President during the forthcoming election, strengthening mobilisation at the community level.
Olabimtan made this disclosure during the official inauguration of the Ondo State chapter of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, which took place in Akure, the state capital, on Tuesday.
He explained that the initiative has been established in all 36 states of the federation to improve communication between the Federal Government and citizens, especially regarding the policies, programmes, and projects introduced under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
He noted that each polling unit is expected to produce 25 canvassers, and these individuals will receive financial support beginning three months before the election and continuing until two months after the exercise. Payments, he added, will be made directly to the participants.
Olabimtan further explained that the strategy is designed to ensure effective voter mobilisation. With every canvasser expected to influence at least five voters, the cumulative effect across the state and the country is projected to significantly improve electoral outcomes for the ruling party.
He added that both the President and the Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, will be responsible for funding the remuneration for the campaigners.
The coordinator, who also serves as Chairman of the Ondo State Universal Basic Education Board, said the Renewed Hope Ambassadors programme was created to provide accurate information to citizens about Federal Government policies while also gathering feedback from grassroots communities.
According to him, the nationwide initiative aims to educate Nigerians about reforms and opportunities introduced by the current administration. The programme is also intended to ensure that members of the public understand the benefits of government interventions and how to access available opportunities.
He urged members of the group to remain active in mobilisation efforts and party outreach activities throughout the state.
Olabimtan said those selected were chosen based on their experience, credibility, and past contributions, adding that they are expected to strengthen collaboration with structures of the All Progressives Congress at the state, local government, ward, and polling unit levels.
He explained that the network would help maintain consistent communication, promote unity within the party, and support elected officials in delivering accurate information about government programmes to their communities.
The former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly also clarified that the establishment of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors will not interfere with the activities of other support groups working for President Tinubu in the state.
He commended Governor Aiyedatiwa for his contribution to the selection of members and expressed confidence that the organisation would carry out its responsibilities effectively in order to achieve its objectives ahead of the 2027 general election.
