President Bola Tinubu has appointed the Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, as Renewed Hope Ambassador and Deputy Director-General for party outreach, engagement and mobilisation.
The appointment comes just days after the Independent National Electoral Commission released the election timetable that slated campaigns for November 2026, ahead of the 2027 general elections.
The appointment, which took effect immediately, was conveyed in a letter from the President to the governor, according to a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, on Tuesday.
Onanuga said Tinubu, in his capacity as leader of the All Progressives Congress, appointed Sani to the role on account of “his salient leadership and organisational abilities.”
According to the statement, the governor’s responsibilities would include working in close collaboration with the Director-General of Renewed Hope Ambassador and the party hierarchy, particularly the national chairman of the APC, “to ensure harmony, inclusiveness, and strategic coordination across all levels of mobilisation and engagement architecture.”
The President said he expected the deputy director-general 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 the letter conveying the appointment, Tinubu wrote, “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.”
