The Renewed Hope for Greater Nigeria (RHGN) group has initiated preparations for a nationwide mobilization campaign supporting President Bola Tinubu's bid for re-election in the 2027 general elections. The campaign is set to launch in Jos, Plateau State, where the group will also inaugurate its State Executive Council and Local Government Coordinators.
RHGN was different from other groups supporting Tinubu because of its focus on communicating the policies and achievements of the administration to Nigerians.
According to RHGN's National Leader and Convener, Hon. Calistus Anyanwu, this event is a key part of the group's strategy to fortify its grassroots structures ahead of the elections. The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, will serve as the Chief Host.
Anyanwu emphasized that RHGN distinguishes itself from other pro-Tinubu groups by focusing on effectively communicating the administration's policies and achievements to the Nigerian populace. Key initiatives slated for highlight include the removal of fuel subsidies, the unification of the foreign exchange market, the establishment of the Nigeria Education Loan Fund (NELFUND), ongoing tax reforms, and direct allocation remittances to local governments.
The inauguration will activate the groupโs structures at the ward and local government levels across Plateau State.
The Plateau State launch is intended to activate the group's structures at the ward and local government levels across the state. This effort mirrors RHGN's mobilization strategies in the South-East, where plans are in motion to deploy a "Booth Army" to polling units to encourage voter turnout. The group views the Plateau launch as another significant step in its nationwide plan to establish robust grassroots networks before the 2027 elections.
The Plateau launch would mark another step in RHGNโs plan to establish grassroots structures across the country ahead of the 2027 general elections.
