President Bola Tinubu has appointed Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State as the Renewed Hope Ambassador ahead of the national launch of Federal Government’s Ward Development Programme.

According to a statement by presidential spokesperson, Bayo Onanuga, Uzodimma in his role as ambassador, will also double as the Director-General for party’s outreach, engagement and mobilisation.

With the appointment, which takes immediate effect, Uzodimma would be responsible, in collaboration with the All Progressives Congress leadership and the governors, for evangelising the Tinubu administration’s programme.

As Renewed Hope Ambassador, the Imo governor, who also chairs the Progressive Governors’ Forum, would ensure harmony, inclusiveness and strategic coordination across all levels of the party. 

He would also be involved in mobilising and engaging people, as well as work with the APC governors, who would also be Ambassadors of Hope.

Tinubu, he said, expected Uzodimma and his colleagues to promote and disseminate the party’s achievements and milestones since 2023, thereby reinforcing the message of Renewed Hope nationwide.

Tinubu took office in May 2023 with a reform agenda that is already yielding positive outcomes for the Nigerian economy.

Inflation, once a nightmare, eased for the seventh month in a row to 16.05 per cent in October. 

The exchange rate has stabilised. Foreign Exchange reserves reached over $46 billion this month, up from $32 billion and a net reserve of $4 billion inherited in 2023.

Investor confidence in the Nigerian economy is back, with both FDI and Portfolio investments on the increase, with the oil and gas sector a significant beneficiary. 

The stock market is enjoying an unprecedented boom. The economy is being diversified, with solid minerals playing a pivotal role. 

The government’s liberal educational loan policy has enrolled over 700,000 students. Nigerians do not need to wait longer than one week to get a travel passport.

Tinubu, in a message to Uzodinma, asked him to ensure that Nigerians were aware of and understood the administration’s achievements.

Meanwhile, a support group for Tinubu’s second term project, the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027, has continued to firm up its structure in Enugu State and working towards achieving its mandate. 

The group is also working on the project for the renewal of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah’s mandate by the people of Enugu State come 2027. 

To this end, the Enugu State chapter of the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027 has announced the appointment of Comrade Onyebuchi Mbah as its spokesperson. 

According to a press statement signed by the Enugu State Coordinator of Renewed Hope Agenda 2027, Dr. Ezenwa Onyirimba, the appointment took immediate effect. 

“The Office of the Enugu State Coordinator, Renewed Hope Agenda 2027, proudly announces the appointment of Comrade Onyebuchi Mbah as the State Spokesperson for the Renewed Hope Agenda 2027 in Enugu State. 

“This appointment reflects the commitment of the Renewed Hope Agenda to strengthening communication, deepening grassroots engagement, and ensuring effective dissemination of the vision and programmes aligned with the Renewed Hope philosophy,” he said.
