President Bola Tinubu has appointed the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, as the Renewed Hope Ambassador and Deputy Director-General for party outreach, engagement, and mobilisation.
The appointment comes shortly after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) released the election timetable for campaigns in November 2026 ahead of the 2027 general elections.
According to a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the appointment takes effect immediately. Tinubu, in his capacity as leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), cited Sani’s “salient leadership and organisational abilities” as the reason for his selection.
The statement outlined that Governor Sani will work closely with the Director-General of Renewed Hope Ambassador and the APC hierarchy, particularly the national chairman, to ensure “harmony, inclusiveness, and strategic coordination across all levels of mobilisation and engagement.”
Tinubu emphasized that the deputy director-general’s role is to “galvanise, promote and disseminate the party’s programmes and policies, including milestones and achievements, thereby strengthening public confidence and reinforcing the message of Renewed Hope nationwide.”
In his letter, the President stated:
“The overall objective of your appointment is to ensure that the entire citizenry is aware of, understands, and ultimately supports our party and its candidates at all levels for broad national acceptance in the 2027 election. Preparation is critical and essential to achieving this outcome, and your leadership will be central to guiding this process effectively and strategically.”
