Abuja, Nigeria — Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, has been appointed into a key directorate of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors (RHA), a political mobilisation platform supporting the re-election bid of Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The announcement was made on Friday by the Director-General and National Coordinator of the group, Hope Uzodimma, who unveiled a list of directors tasked with driving nationwide mobilisation and outreach.
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors is designed as a strategic campaign structure to communicate the policies and achievements of the Tinubu administration to grassroots communities across the country.
In a statement issued by the group’s Director of Media and Publicity, Tunde Rahman, the initiative was described as central to advancing the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to the statement, the campaign structure reflects a broad national spread, with six zonal coordinators, 37 state coordinators, and 774 local government coordinators already in place.
Metuh has been assigned the role of Director of Organisation and Mobilisation, a position considered critical to coordinating political support and campaign activities across regions.
Other notable figures in the structure include Uba Sani as Deputy Director-General, Muhammed Inuwa Yahaya as Secretary, and James Abiodun Faleke as Deputy Secretary.
The directorate also features a mix of political office holders and technocrats overseeing key departments such as media, digital strategy, finance, legal affairs, research, and diaspora engagement. Among them are Sunday Dare handling digital and new media, Muiz Banire in charge of monitoring and legal compliance, and Abike Dabiri-Erewa overseeing diaspora affairs.
Metuh’s inclusion in the pro-Tinubu campaign structure marks a significant political shift, given his previous high-profile role within the opposition PDP.
The Renewed Hope Ambassadors is expected to intensify mobilisation efforts nationwide as political alignments begin to take shape ahead of the 2027 elections.
